Strawberry Girl 60th Anniversary Edition (Trophy Newbery)

Description

Birdie Boyer was a Florida Cracker. She belonged to a large "strawberry family," who lived on a flatwoods farm in the lake section of the state. They raised strawberries for a living.

Through all the hazards of the uncertain crop -- battling against dry weather and grass fires, the roving hogs and cattle of their neighbors -- Birdie dreamed of an education that would include playing the organ. In the end she won not only the title of "strawberry girl," but book learning as well.

This is a story full of enterprise and fun and tire excitement of real life in this interesting part of America.

Lois Lenski has used again her gift for catching the flavor and drama of life in a remote corner of America. It is the second of a series of regional stories through which she promises to introduce other fascinating and little-known backgrounds to boys and girls. This story will take a place beside her popular Louisiana story Bayou Suzette in the affection of readers.

The eighty-four illustrations are distinguished for their action and fascinating detail. They add greatly to this true picture of Florida life at a time when old Florida ways were changing to new.

Summary: "A Wonderful Historical Read"

I read this with my fourth grade students. It provides a wonderful picture of Old Florida during its "settler" days. This book is good for readers at an advanced 3rd grade and above level. It's a great literary addition to a study of Florida history.

Summary: "frustrating"

This book frustrated my daughter. It is boring and really has no use in school these days. It needs to be something that children read only if they want to and not because they have to. Government is killing the love of reading by forcing kids to read rubbish like this.

Summary: "I want to grow strawberries..."

This is a complete classic from a period children's literature that has pretty much been forgotten. It follows a rather hickish girl, Birdie, who lives in the backwoods of Florida with her farming family. She's a strong young girl who is proud of who she is and is always ready to do what is necessary for her family and their survival.

Mixed in with this is a rather warfarish story of their neighbors, with whom they develop an intriguing love/hate relationship.

For a children's book, this has an incredible insight into human relationships and a way of life that most people would rather ignore.

Summary: "Excellent Read Aloud!"

This is a wonderful tale of life in rural Florida in the 1940s. It is the story of "Birdie" and her family after they move to a new home and start a farm.

The book gives a very interesting historical perspective. The plot is riveting and held my children's attention. I also found it entertaining, which is a plus.

Another reviewer mentioned the dialect used in the book - it does take some getting used to [even for myself, a born and bred southern gal :) ]. It is very distinctive of that time period and that particular locale, but once you get used to it, the book becomes much easier to read. The dialect is only used in the dialog, so the rest of the book is written in "plain english".

Parents should be aware however that there are scenes in this book that may be upsetting to younger or more sensitive older children. Birdie's neighbors "feud" with them from the moment they move in, and the father of the neighbor family is a mean drunk who does not take care of his family. He does some horrible things [and Birdie's father does some less than wise things as well]. In one scene, the family's mule is poisoned by the neighbor man. In another scene, he tries to burn their house down. There is also a scene where a boy tries to feed a live rabbit to a rattle snake [the rabbit is rescued in the end] - this could also upset the animal lovers in your home.

Why do I still recommend this book? Because it is an outstanding moral tale - all the bad things are clearly bad. The bad behaviors are clearly bad and they have very real [and realistic] consequences for everyone involved in this story. My kids [who have, thankfully, never been exposed to drunkenness] learned clearly WHY alcohol, when abused, is such a terrible thing. I think it is a lesson they will carry with them for life - this book led to my children having very clear and interesting discussions amongst themselves about drinking and drug abuse and why being a drunk is such a terrible thing. It gave them great clarity.

In the end, this is a moral tale and a tale of redemption - something the world needs more of in my opinion. Reading this book together was a great experience for my children [and me!].
