KCS SARAH THE PLAIN AND TALL

This is a very good book. It talks about a woman named Sarah go and live with a man named Jacob the kind hearted father of Anna and Caleb. After Caleb was born his mother died. They learned to live without her but still missed her a bit. This was a very good book that only took me 1hr. to read, but it was a fascinating book.

Kcs Sarah plain and tall

How would you feel if your mom past away when you were little and your father posted an ad for a new wife? The setting takes on a prarie by a farm. The main characters are Anna who is kind,good, and helpful, Caleb who is young, kind,and a good little brother,and Sarah who is plain, tall,helpul,and liked cats.
Anna,Caleb, and their farther are struggling without a mother to help out around the house and their father is very lonely and he doesn't sing anymore. so he puts an ad to make himself happier. the theme is you shouldn't blame your- self if something goes wrong. the meaning of the title is about Sarah being plain and tall, well basically describing what sarah is like.
the pacing of the book is kind of slow throughout the book so kind of boring. it's not really wrtten in a christian perpective. I think the author is trying to show us what life would be like without a mother or if you are trying to find a new mom. I woul recommed this book more to girls because I think they would understand this book to people who have had this experience.

a review by Ralphy

I personally did not like this book because it did not catch my attention, but some people might disagree. Sarah Plain and Tall by Patricia Maclachlan tells about a family that lost their mom; so they find a new another mom. She will decide whether or not to live with them. First of all, their mother died when the youngest child, Caleb, was born. Equally important, the dad, Jacob, puts an ad in the paper for a new mom. The ad says how they need a wife and a mom. After that, a girl named Sarah responds to the ad in the paper. She writes letters to each of the kids and she writes Jacob telling him she will come by train wearing a yellow bonnet. Lastly, Sarah learns to love the family. Sarah decides to stay forever even though she misses Maine. Even though I did not like this book, some people may have other opinions.
