Story4.5 out of 5 stars 246
No one would accuse 11-year-old Caddie Woodlawn of being dainty and ladylike. In spite of her mother’s best efforts, Caddie is as wild as the wind, playing freely and rambunctiously with her two brothers in the Wisconsin backwoods. There are rafts to build and trees to climb and pranks to play. Caddie especially likes to watch her friend Indian John build birchbark canoes at the river. Every day seems wide with possibility - as wide as the frontier. But living on the edge of civilization has its risks, too....

Discovered in the forests of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips; Cassiopeia has a bark that is (usually) worse than her bite; and Beowulf is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.

The poetic musings of this well-loved classic recapture childhood mysteries that range from the everyday rituals of home ("The Land of Nod," "Escape at Bedtime," and "My Bed Is a Boat") to the curiosities of a wider world ("Foreign Lands," "Pirate Story," and "Where Go the Boats?").

Excellent Audio Presentation
The reader of this book did an amazing job of reading the book with different voices for each character. Her skill in remembering each characters voice and providing just the right intonation and feeling made the book come to life. :o)
The book itself is also a great work of art because it helped us understand life for immigrants in the early 1900 through the eyes of a little girl much like my own.

I like Rebecca because it shows how you have to do something your parents don't always what you to do.
It shows you how to be brave and have chutzpah.
