Bonnie was four and very proud of it. She was also a very happy four, because she was the youngest of one of the very happiest families anywhere. As you read about Bonnie and the fun she had, about her pink sunbonnet, and the ice-skating party, and her adventure on the mountain—you can't help but be happy, too.
A story as American as ice-skating in winter and berrying in summer—a story for the younger folk and the young in heart.

The Happy Little Family by Rebecca Caudill
Reviewed by Sherry Early
I love Ms. Caudill’s writing style which uses repetition and simple but rich descriptors to set a tone for a story featuring Bonnie, the youngest child in the happy little family, and her quest to go from being little (four years old) to being big . . .
Fairchild Family: Happy Little Family
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
Turning four is practically turning ten, or at least almost six. Just ask sweet little sister Bonnie who is thrilled to be out of babyhood and scrambling to play catch up to her 3 older sisters, and 1 older brother in this enchanting Appalachian pioneer farm family.
