### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read
*by K***E on January 8, 2024*

I love the story line and art work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read
*by J***. on November 30, 2023*

I enjoyed the book very much. So much different to live in those times compared to today. Nice to not have all the crime and violence also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, thought-provoking story
*by M***N on July 25, 2014*

Lois Lenski's books were relatively new when I was a schoolgirl, and I have fond memories of an endless stream of interesting stories set in different American locales, all with charming, detailed illustrations. One of the distinctive qualities of Lenski's books -- something I noticed as a child but see more clearly now -- is the honesty with which she depicts poverty and inequality. Many of the families in her books are barely surviving, and the gulf between these families and those just a bit better off is striking.In "Prairie School," a somewhat uneven and episodic story, another kind of poverty is in evidence -- poverty of spirit. Lenski is to be commended for not idealizing the peasant family of the protagonist, Delores. Frankly, Delores's father is an incompetent, brutish blowhard. He's a bully, and he is teaching his sons -- even the baby -- to be bullies as well. Delores's mother is hard-working but oppressed, powerless, and often overwhelmed. The heroic teacher, Miss Martin, seems to be aware of the family situation, and advises Delores at the very end of the book to find a wider world that will nurture her generous spirit instead of stifling it.This book is reminiscent of Wilder's "The Long Winter," though it emphasizes the value of cooperation rather than the paranoid self-reliance of Wilder's world. It is also reminiscent of Cather's "My Antonia," with its look into the lives of uneducated immigrants who are floundering in the New World, and the challenges faced by a girl growing up in this stunted environment. For a contrasting historical story for readers on the same level, see Taylor's "All of a Kind Family" series, in which the family, though poor, values reading and creativity.
