Representaion To Books The Fields of Home (Little Britches #5)

The Fields of Home is my least favorite of this series but I highly recommend you don't skip it. At this point in the story Ralph is living with his grandfather and it seems like he is constantly criticizing Ralph. But it has it's redeeming qualities and I wouldn't want to miss this portion of Ralph's experiences and how he handles all of it.

This book takes place in Maine & I found the following review from Amazon of interest and thought I would share it:

"If one was brought up ( as I was ) in Maine, farming with horses - the reality of the narrative is apparent.... Moody was writing about real people who actually existed! Tom Gould (the Grandfather) was a Civil War Vet - Company I, 16th Maine; he actually did work the farm described in the book; his father, Jacob, actually did clear the farm from the wilderness; Tom actually was born when his father was 72, etc., etc. A boulder in nearby Hillside Cemetery in Lisbon memorializes Jacob, Tom and the farm which is the setting for this book. This is a cultural thumb print of turn-of-the-century Maine. One might also explore the writings of another of Tom's grandsons (and Ralph Moody's first cousin), Maine author, John Gould."

Critique About Books The Fields of Home (Little Britches #5)
I loved this installment in the Ralph Moody biographical series. To my mind, this is the best one, after the first, Little Britches. I love the characters of his grandfather, Millie and Uncle Levi. This would be a fun one to read aloud to be able to put all the life into the words of Grandfather. He's a hoot. Lots of good lessons to be learned from this book.

This book has quite a different feel from the previous ones in the series. Usually Ralph is praised for his resourcefulness and work ethic, but in this installment, he is living with his cantakerous grandfather and being scolded for everything. Much of the book is frustrating and I can easily picture what that grandfather must have been like, always yelling "tarnal fool," "let be, let be!" "Eat your victuals!" and constantly ranting about modern contraptions. I felt I learned more about Ralph's

Fun series.

I loved this book of the Ralph Moody series. :D Grandfather was frustrating at times, but everything turned out okay... and he was kinda funny when he got mad. ;)Ralph learned a lot in this book and Uncle Levi helped out quite a bit! The parts with him, Ralph, and Annie were funny. XDI was glad that Millie (view spoiler)[came back home... it didn't seem normal without her! (hide spoiler)]I definitely recommend this series for families to read out loud together!4 stars! :)

My favorite Ralph Moody book so far. His memoirs of growing up in 1910's America show how much life has changed in 100 years. I doubt teens today could do half of what they did back then.

Ralph Moody's Little Britches series are my favorite family read alouds. Books #1 and #2 are the best, but The fields of Home is my 3rd favorite. After spending several years ranching in Colorado, his family moves back to Boston after his father dies. Living in a city is quite different from ranching and things don't go very well. His mother sends him to live with his grandpa.His grandfather is extremely challenging to be around and work with. He is constantly belittling Ralphie and refuses to

Just like the previous titles in this series, The Fields of Home is an excellent story. The critical, negative grandfather makes this one hard to read, but stick with it! Ralph, encouraged by his Uncle Levi and some quality about the farm or his grandfather, or both - keeps coming back. I think he ends up redeeming his grandfather from a bitter and hopeless end. Ralph continues to grow into a hard working and innovative young man, and he experiences a mixture of triumph and humility as he
