Interpretation In Favor Of Books Strawberry Girl (American Regional)

The land was theirs, but so were its hardships

Strawberries -- big, ripe, and juicy. Ten-year-old Birdie Boyer can hardly wait to start picking them. But her family has just moved to the Florida backwoods, and they haven′t even begun their planting. "Don′t count your biddies ′fore they′re hatched, gal young un!" her father tells her.

Making the new farm prosper is not easy. There is heat to suffer through, and droughts, and cold snaps. And, perhaps most worrisome of all for the Boyers, there are rowdy neighbors, just itching to start a feud.

Write Up Out Of Books Strawberry Girl (American Regional)

1946 Newbery Medal winner.These older Newbery Medal books, these children's classics, are struggling to stand the test of time. Why? Well, take this one for example. It's about a time gone by, very different from today, a much harder time. It's characters, it's language, it's life situations are so stark, they must seem almost foreign to today's young readers. Can today's children still relate? Maybe, but not very easily. It's a shame too. Most of them are well written, have wonderful

I liked this book about a family who moves to a new farm in Florida, during the pioneer days, determined to make the farm a success with a beautiful orchard and strawberry grove. Birdie is excited to become a Strawberry Girl, but is worried that the disgruntled neighbors will make trouble for her family. When the neighbor's pigs and cows trample over the new strawberry plants, Birdie's father is outraged and vows to fence in his property to keep them out. This begins a feud between the two

This one actually grew on me as I was reading--it gets 2 1/2 stars. Heavy dialect is always difficult for me to get through without rolling my eyes (it usually just feels so contrived and culturally insensitive), and this was no exception. It's also very strange subject matter for a children's book; it's the story of an escalating feud between two families in rural Florida. As the book got weirder ("Pa done got drunk and shot all the heads off Ma's chickens jest to see iffen he could hit um") I

First sentence: 'That goes our cow, Pa!' said the little girl.Premise/plot: The Boyer family has newly moved into the community. Most make the family feel welcome. Not so their nearest neighbors the Slaters. From the start these two families clash. Birdie Boyer, for example, clashes with Shoestring. The Slater mother has a love-to-hate, hate-to-love relationship with the Boyer mother. She tends to think that the Boyers are uppity SNOBS because they have (relatively) nice things. The two fathers,

This book is an example of an older Newbery that has not aged particularly well, but still offers very interesting glimpses of our American past.Lois Lenski, prolific author of childrens books, wrote one large group of books about how children typically lived in different regions in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.Strawberry Girls setting is Florida. Its hard to believe that the rural dramas and the hard, hard lives depicted might have occurred where Disney World exists now! That fact

We listened to this narrated by Natalie Ross and it was excellent!

Lois Lenski wrote a huge series of children's books that were set in different sections of the U.S. As a youngster, I was never able to relate to this Newbery Medal winner as much as I did to her "Cotton in My Sack," because it is set in Florida rather than Arkansas, and in my youth I spent much, much more time in cotton patches than in strawberry fields.
