My Review:  I remember reading these books, Grandma's Attic stories, when I was a young girl. I still love to read these wonderful books.  The covers are now redone with a slightly different look but the inside stories are still great as ever!
The escapades that grandma tells...such as the time she and Mary Jane tried out a face mask from one of those nice magazines.  They carried the hot water in a tea kettle upstairs and painted their faces with honey.  Mom had to clean the honey off, more like, strip the honey off, their youthful faces.  
These stories are from the past but still make one laugh.  
I love these reads!  Especially for girls who are about 9-11 years old and for the "girl" in all of us.


Book 4

Book Description:  Journey back to Grandma’s childhood on a Michigan farm in the 1800s for heartwarming stories that inspire faith and godly character.
Arleta Richardson’s beloved series, Grandma’s Attic, returns with Treasures from Grandma's Attic, the fourth in the refreshed classic collection for girls 8 to 12. This compilation of tales recounts humorous and poignant memories from Grandma Mabel’s childhood on a Michigan farm in the late 1800s. Combining the warmth and spirit of Little House on the Prairie with a Christian focus, this book transports readers back to a simpler time to learn lessons surprisingly relevant in today’s world.
Richardson’s wholesome stories have reached more than two million readers worldwide. Parents appreciate the godly values and character they promote. Children love the captivating storytelling that recounts childhood memories of mischief and joy. Ideal for home, school, or church libraries, or to give as a gift certain to be treasured.

My Review: As one reads, Treasures from Grandma's Attic, one is taken back in time when there was no electricity, neighbor helped neighbor, clothes hung out on a line to dry and mothers stayed home and cooked delightful meals.
Once again, Grandma Mabel and her best friend, Sarah Jane, get into escapades and learn how to love and forgive.
In chapter 9, Grandma Mabel relates how she learned a little more about responsibility and what it meant to really be responsible.  And what an adventure a trip to town, on Friday, with your best friend and her family really could be.
This is another grand read for girls 9-11 years old.  A great lesson in days gone by, as well as, learning through trial and error - finding out that God always knows best and will keep us safe.
Fabulous wholesome reads!
