Book Quote: "Arundel Cottage was not only yellow, it was the creamiest, butteriest yellow the Penderwicks had ever seen. It was all a cottage is supposed to be, small and snug, with a front porch, pink climbing roses, and lots of trees for shade."
My Rating: 5/5
Review: This was such a fun little book that I ended up reading on my own, because my son didn't like the fact that there were no pictures. Each Penderwick daughter was unique and precious in her own way. Rosalind, the eldest, is much more mature than her age and acts as mother to her younger sisters. Next we have Skye who is the more adventurous sister and tends to get into trouble with her outspoken and rambunctious ways. Jane is the the third daughter, the dreamer. She's the little writer, and of course, my favorite. The youngest is Batty, who is sweet and shy, but adventurous and full of imagination. There's also the boy they meet on their summer vacation. His name is Jeffrey, who is every bit as adventurous and rambunctious as all of the sisters put together. It was feel good story about the love of sisters, the joy of friendship, the occasional unfairness of childhood, and there can always be a happy ending.
Book Description:While vacationing with their widowed father in the Berkshire Mountains, four lovable sisters, ages four through twelve, share adventures with a local boy, much to the dismay of his snobbish mother.
