Write Up Of Books Father and I Were Ranchers (Little Britches #1)

This book has so many golden nuggets all throughout its pages that it is easily atop my list of family read-alouds. It was geared more toward boys, but my girls loved it just as much.

I first read Little Britches as a preteen. Reading it again as an adult and a parent is a completely different experience. Its one of those memoirs that are treated as childrens literature because it happens to describe the authors life between the ages of eight and eleven, but Id classify it more as an adult book that happens to work as a read-aloud for the whole family. Moody describes his familys experience trying to earn a living on a ranch in Colorado in the early 1900s. They emigrated from

This book is the first in a whole series of biographies about the Moody family, who went west around 1908 to become farmers in Colorado. The story of young Ralph Moody, his interactions with his parents, his lively descriptions of neighbors, cowboys and other characters all make his set of biographical novels a pleasure from start to finish. I read these first as a child, but have kept a copy of all 8 books nearby to re-read on a regular basis. Try them out.... they are worth the time.

In some ways this is like the boys' version of Little House on the Prairie. But judging by its bestseller status, a lot of adults were reading it, too. Appeals to nostalgia, to a time when it seemed that life was simpler, people were closer to God and nature, neighbors knew each other. I'm so glad I didn't live back then.Father 'teaches' the downright naughty Ralph lessons in being a man. He's a slow learner, but, "I always loved him more after he scolded me than I did at any other time."

I finished Little Britches by Ralph Moody. I didn't want to read it because I thought it was a dumb title, and I don't like sad farming stories set in the Great Depression. I blame that on Steinbeck. I know it is so un public school taught of me, to not like Steinbeck but come on his stories are such downers. He is a good writer, but that doesn't mean I want to read his pathetic tales. The title makes more sense after reading the story, and it wasn't a downer story about the failings of

My favorite quotes from the book: "Always remember, Son, the best boss is the one who bosses the least. Whether it's cattle, or horses, or men; the least government is the best government (80)." "Son, there are times a man has to do things he doesn't like to, in order to protect his family (120)." "There are only two kinds of men in this world: Honest men and dishonest men. ...Any man who says the world owes him a living is dishonest. The same God that made you and me made this earth. And He

Left with a lot to think about on the subject of masculinity AND a lot of anxiety for the future. Lord, help me if I have a 9 year old boy this determined to learn the hard way!
