It took me a little to get into the story, but after a couple of pages I fell in love with little Rachel. She is like an Amish Pippi Longstocking. Wanda Brunstetter does an excellent job of drawing you into the characters, and you can feel Rachel’s frustration as she learns about growing up, getting along, and getting through life’s trouble. The only thing I didn’t like about the book was the heavy usage of Pennsylvania Dutch. While it did give the story an authentic feel, it also slowed the...more
I have not read anything by Wanda E Brunstetter prior to this book but I know she is a very popular author in our area (I can't speak for anywhere else but her books always have waiting lists at the library). This is her first children's book and I must say it was good. It's the first in a series.

Little House on the Amish Farm. Cute - would appeal to younger girls that also liked Little House on the prairie. Rachel, the youngest of the Yoder family always seems to be in trouble. Storyline imparts morals about what really is important in life. The only drawback I found was in having to flip back and forth to the glossary at the front to decipher the Pennsylvania Dutch that is interspersed throughout the book.
This was the perfect book to take camping. Both Kate and Colin could get into it. The adults enjoyed it too. Three very difficult criteria to fill. Written about the Amish by an "English" writer, the book teaches children about the Pennsylvania Dutch daily life but they can still easily relate to the characters. The book is written with love and respect for the Amish and their ways.
Cute story: a young Amish girl who is always getting into trouble finds out that her life isn't so terribly unfair.
Cute book. Great intro for Rachel into Kelly's "other" life... Amishland!!
A cute book that gave my kids a glimpse into what life is like in the Amish community.
I read this book to my daughter for her bedtime story. I found it to be a great way to share with her my love for reading about the Amish. She asked so many questions while reading - it was great!!
