More Stories from Grandma's Attic (Volume 2) (Grandma's Attic Series)

I bought this set for my five year old granddaughter to have read to her during the “Pandemic Homeschooling”. I read this series to my children when they were young. They loved the books. My granddaughter is loving it, too!

While this book is the second one in the Grandma's Attic bunch, it's not necessary to read In Grandma's Attic first. The book is a collection of 8-10 page chapters, each with it's own story from Grandma's youth. The stories can be read independently, apart from each other.In these stories, Grandma, or Mabel, is approximately 6 years old. She's a girl that means well in general, but is rather foolish and rushes into things without thinking, and the consequences are sure to follow. In fact, she's a bit foolish for my tastes, and sometimes my thought was that she needed a good spanking and maybe she'd think through things a bit more. But, still each of the stories has a short moral to it, and there are consequences for Mabel's impetuousness. These are Christian stories; the occasional Bible verse or prayer is mentioned.All in all, they're clean good stories. I wouldn't hand them to a child prone to getting him/herself into trouble easily, as they might be inclined to get ideas from Mabel. But otherwise, it's acceptable enjoyable reading with a moral to the story. My two older children, ages 8 and 6, enjoyed listening to me read them.

My 7 year old and I have been reading the series at bedtime. We have really enjoyed it . It feels like you are sitting with grandma listening to her many stories while laughing and learning about character.

Such sweet stories with a Little House on the Prairie feel. I have read through a bit of the book and I love it. I can't wait to start reading this to my 8 yr. old. She loves The Little House series so, I'm sure she will love this too. And it gently teaches lessons as well. I received this as a free download and I'm so glad I did because otherwise, I may have overlooked it all together. I'm definitely going to get the first book before reading them to my daughter.

We already had most of the books, so this was to fill in the series. Enjoyable to follow Mabel and Sarah Jane as they learn and grow.

My granddaughter had requested these book and was very happy that Santa came through for her. Good reading for a 3rd or 4th grader.

Great stories.

This book treated us to delightful tales "Grandma" shared with her granddaughter. I loved the Michigan farm setting for the faith-based life lessons from "Grandma's" childhood. We saw humor, mischief, and discovery related in her stories. I appreciated the time-honored truths shared in the stories. Recommended highly!

Our daughter loves it, and so do I. The stories are funny and insightful. I look forward to the next one in the series.

My little girl loves these stories, she's eight years old and they are such gentle and warm tales. There aren't enough books like this for children in my humble opinion!

メイベルはいまから100年以上前、ちょうど「大草原の小さな家」のローラと同じころミシガンの農場で、両親と２人兄と暮らしていました。おばあちゃんになったメイベルが孫娘に、子供のころの出来事を語る形式になっています。一巻のIn Grandma's Atticに比べて、キリスト教的倫理観に基づいた正しい行いについてのお話が多く少々説教臭い感じがしますが、メイベルと友達のセーラ　ジェーンの引き起こす行動は愉快で楽しめます。また、当時の生活の様子も詳しく描かれています英文は平易で一章が5,6ページと短いので読みやすいです。
