Strawberry Girl

By: Lois Lenski

Narrated by: Natalie Ross

Newbery Medal Winner, 1946

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.

The restoration & friendship of the families.

We loved it and made all sorts of strawberry treats while reading! We listened and laughed while cleaning and doing chores, just like the children in the story.

Excellent read aloud and narrator

My 7 year old and I enjoyed this very much! The narrator is excellent besides the story line.

Love Love Love!!!

My whole family loved listening to this book. The story was wonderful and the narrator Natalie Ross made it come alive. Lois Lenski has a wonderful way of quickly making you feel and see the story. It was hands down one of our top favorites.
