Rash (i_read_anything) | 83 comments Hello. This is a children's book, told in third person point of view about a four year old girl named Bonnie(I think) who lived in the mountains with her big family and they interact with other families who live there. I think at one point she got lost in the mountains and I think she gets really excited in the end because she got to go to school with her big sister. And I think the book starts out with her wanting to go sledding with her older siblings but her mother tells her she's too young. I think it had a baby pink cover with mountains on it.

Part of a series?
Was this a picture book or chapter book? If picture, were the illustrations colorful, realistic, full page, etc?

Mai | 1280 comments Maybe the Fairchild Family Stories Series by Rebecca Caudill? The first book in the series is Happy Little Family:
It is a good thing that mothers understand what no one else seems to when you are the youngest child in the family, and are finally four years old. Bonnie is more than ready to join her older sisters and brother in the many adventures she sees come their way, whether it be sliding along the ice, searching for arrowheads, or going on that journey of all journeys-across the swinging bridge to school. Winter or summer, something is always happening in the Fairchild house, tucked amidst the pine trees of the Kentucky hills one hundred years ago or more. And, four years old or not, Bonnie usually manages to be in the middle of the action!
It was first published in the 1940s so there are different editions.
