Title: Caddie Woodlawn
Review: Caddie Woodlawn is a great movie that shows a girl's courage to stand up and do right even though it is not always the popular thing to do. I watched this movie every time I'd go visit my grandparents and really love the movie, however I noticed the DVD cuts parts of the movie out that are in the VHS and unless you have seen it before, different parts leave you wondering how different things have happened in the movie. (example: how she got the silver dollar) The VHS that has the entire movie I'd give 5 stars, since the DVD cuts parts out, I have to give it a slightly lower rating, although I still do like the shorter version.

Title: Caddie Woodlawn
Review: 4.5 stars: I read this with my children and they moaned when I first brought it out. A few chapters in, though, they changed their minds. Caddie is quite a character. In 1864, Caddie is 11 and runs around with her brothers, Tom, 13, and Warren, 9. The family lives in Wisconsin and when they arrived, she and her sister Mary, were quite frail. Mary died so her father asked her mother to let him try an experiment. He wanted Caddie to run wild with the boys rather than learn to be a lady indoors. So she's raised as a tomboy and she and her brothers get into quite a bit of mischief.There are fun stories about their adventures with the Indians, the Circuit Rider (traveling minister), Uncle Edmund's visit, school and just life in general living in the wilderness.We especially enjoyed the chapter where her brother, Tom, made up a story. Caddie, Warren and Tom were plowing the field so to make it more interesting, one of them would plow while the other two sat by the fence and made up stories. Tom was the best storyteller so both Warren and Caddie wanted to hear his story. The main character in his story had some character flaws and we had a good discussion on him.Since it was first published in 1935 (and written about life in the 1860's), the times were quite different than today. We had some good discussions on what was better about that time and the conveniences we have today that make life easier. It was also good to see the similarities and see that human nature is the same over time. There's a part where Caddie wants to run away and my daughter has wanted to do that a few times so it was good for her to see that even children that lived a long time ago had some of those same feelings and we were able to see how Caddie worked through her feelings. The family has a big decision to make towards the end. We each guessed what they would decide and were surprised somewhat by the outcome.

Title: Sweet, touching, and fun at the same time!
Review: This book is fantastic! I love books about pioneers from the 1800s and have read many books depicting this era. Caddie Woodlawn is one of my new favorites. Prior to beginning it, I wasn't sure how much I would like this book, since I don't particularly relate to tomboys, but Caddie is very likeable. She is brave, kind, and always ready for an adventure with her family. I was particularly touched by some profound words her father shared with her after she was disciplined, I also loved her for a generous act of kindness she bestowed upon some lonely and hurting children. There are some sweet words of wisdom nestled in this gem. I can't recommend this book enough and am eager to read it to my little girls, I know they will love it!

Title:
Review: Caddie Woodlawn is the true story about a year in the life of an 11 year old girl, growing up on the American frontier in the 1860s. The author of the book is the actual granddaughter of Caddie, and she decided to write down some tales from her grandmother's childhood. The result is a book in the mould of Little House on the Prairie or Anne of Green Gables.Caddie is a tomboy - part of a large family of seven children, but the only girl in the family who is encouraged by her father to be a tomboy. As a result of her tomboy behaviour she almost drowns, saves an Indian tribe from being massacred by white settlers, stands up to the school bully and plays tricks on her snobbish cousin Annabelle who comes from the stylish city of Boston and looks down on country life. The book is well-written, easy to read and contains lots of dialogue.The book also deals with deeper issues such as the role of women in society, racism and class prejudice. By the end of the book, Caddie realises that she cannot be a tomboy forever, but her father gives her a moving account of the importance of feminine virtues in society. She grows more sensitive to the needs of others, especially her younger sister Hetty, and at the end of the book a secret from her father's childhood forces her and the rest of her family to make a possibly life-changing decision.While I think that many children would enjoy reading this, I do have to criticise the words sometimes used to describe the Indians. Although Caddie and her family see them as equal, it does not stop her (or perhaps it is the author) occasionally referring to them as savages, and the mixed race children in her class are invariably called half-breeds. This is a pity because this is otherwise a good book which has so many layers to it, and really gets to the heart of what it is like to be growing up as a girl in any time period. Perhaps these terms were acceptable in the 1930s when the book was first published, but it does mar what is otherwise a very lovely story, and that is why I chose not to award it five stars.
