SynopsisThis beloved Newbery Medal-winning book is the first of five books in Patricia MacLachlan's chapter book series about the Witting family. Set in the late nineteenth century and told from young Anna's point of view, Sarah, Plain and Tall tells the story of how Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton comes from Maine to the prairie to answer Papa's advertisement for a wife and mother. Before Sarah arrives, Anna and her younger brother Caleb wait and wonder. Will Sarah be nice? Will she sing? Will she stay? This children's literature classic is perfect for fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books, historical fiction, and timeless stories using rich and beautiful language, and it's a strong choice for independent reading.

great value, 7 year old daughter loved it.
It was on my daughter's summer reading list. I wanted to make sure we could read it a few times before school started.

"Sarah Plain and Tall"
I was very pleased that the hardcover text is in excellent shape, just like new! The paper book cover that was around it arrived with a large tear in it. I will tape it to repair.
