Recenzii
I thoroughly enjoyed Little Man. I believe that the stories in this book provide an entertaining and accurate account of what life was like for rural people in Arkansas a hundred years ago.”
“...I found Amos’ story to be full of wholesome values, and I loved the book. Now I’m reading it to my nine and ten-year-old children. After each chapter we sit and talk about what is happening to Amos.”
