    Grandson Loves this Story
  

*by K***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2023*

I purchased this for my grandson as a birthday gift. I’d given him the first volume for Christmas and he asked for this for his birthday. He’s almost done with this volume. We will have to find him another series to read.

    Inspiring and Thought-Provoking
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2015*

The second book in the Little Britches series is both inspiring and thought provoking.  Ralph Moody has a way of connecting with the reader.  His narration is simple.  He has a very straight-forward way of telling his stories that makes it seem like you are sitting down with him, listening to him tell tales of his childhood over a cup of coffee. The characters in his books come to life in vivid form.  Your mind's eye can picture the sheriff with his long drawl, the blacksmith's rugged form, his mother pinching her lip as she puzzles out a problem.  As I read of what this family went through after his father's death, how every single one of them pulled together and accomplished amazing things, I wonder if our family could do the same.  Would we have the fortitude to bare up under extreme hardship?  And not only to bare up, but to do so with contentment and optimism?  Ralph and his older sister Grace as well as the younger siblings had to accept grown-up responsibilities at a young age.  There was no self-pity or feeling that they were somehow missing out in life.  The fruits of their labor were never viewed as individual property, but were given to the good of the whole family.  A theme of selflessness and love for each other runs through the book.  Though the title is "Man of the Family", the thread that ties it all together is Ralph's mother.  Her utter selflessness, her constant labor, her unbelievable cheerfulness in the face of constant worry and struggle, and her deep love for her children and theirs for her is what makes this book so touching.  She is a woman of tremendous character--character that leads her to right, even when it is hard, character that she passed on to her children.  She inspires them to be all that they can be, and they rise to the occasion and meet the obstacles that life throws at them with cheerfulness and a sense of humor.  It truly is amazing what a family can do.

    Excellent read for the whole family
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2021*

My family has fallen in love with the Moody family. Ralph sometimes gets into trouble, but he has a good conscience and the book upholds morals and integrity. I love that. My kids are impressed with how Ralph finds ways to help his family and it challenges them to think more about serving others.  I have kids ages 6,8,10,12 (2 boys and 2 girls) and they all BEG me to read ‘just one more chapter’ every night after dinner. Even my husband thorough enjoys this book, and it’s not his usual genre. Heck, we feel like it challenges us to be better parents too, to respond softly.  Mrs. Moody is very patient and kind as a parent; but she doesn’t let the kids get away with anything. Can’t recommend this enough. We listened to the first book on audio, so I make the voices as close to the audio version as I can when I read aloud. We loved the audiobook version of the first, but I’m going to purchase the paper copy too because my kids read and reread all the time. I know this series would get read over and over.
