Friendly Gables (Volume 3) (The Mitchells Series)

A wonderful book for kids 7-10. You will not have to worry about the content; it is all family friendly and very entertaining for kids. Try any Hilda von Stockum book, and you won't be disappointed.

Great book

Love this author and this series.

This was a read-aloud book that my kids 5 years through 12 really enjoyed listening to. The characters are engaging and memorable.

We love all Hilda Van Stockum. Comforting, beautiful, lovely book for all ages.

This book is about the Mitchells. The Mitchells are a family of perfect (well almost perfect) children. The oldest, Joan, is always perfect, saving up for a dress, and trying to fit in with the adults. Patsy is next. She is perfect too. Peter is always getting in fights with the school bully because he is American. Angela is always showing off her blonde curls. Timmy is six. His hobbies include screaming "Good news!" through the neighborhood, pulling Angela's curls, and setting his little sister Catherine on fire. Catherine is the youngest and is like any little kid, selfish, yet sweet. I liked it because the whole family, even Timmy, helped each other out of their problems. It just goes to show, ten heads are better than one.

Friendly Gables is the third and final book in the Mitchell family series. I loved this book because all the children are sweet, kind, and loving, to their siblings. Twins have just been born, making eight Mitchell children. The nurse, who helps Mrs. Mitchell, presents a challenge to the six other Mitchell children, by being difficult to get along with. The children create a hide-out in the attic called Homework, to escape the nurse, Miss Thorpe. The Mitchells have much fun and adventure during the month following the twin's birth.

0ne of my favorite childhood books and reading it as an adult is still enjoyable!
