Little Men

Rating:
Summary: Another Alcott classic!
Review: This sequel to "Little Women" continues the heart warming saga of the March family girls. It follows events in their lives as married women, and the lives of their children. This book seems to be more popular with boy readers than "Little Women", which often appeals to girls between the ages of 11-15 (depending on their individual reading level). Perhaps this is linked to the fact that there are more main characters who are boys in "Little Men". The innocent quality of romance and adventure in this plot, as well as the emphasis on morality and family relationships, make this a good gift for those concerned about the types of literature their children are reading. Adults buying this for children should note that the moral aspects of the story generally reinforce 19th century Protestant Christian values.
This is another book that has continued to be my favorite 20 years after reading it for the first time.
