It was a glorious morning in early June; the dew still hung heavy on each grass blade and leaf, making rainbow tapestries that defy description, as the waking sunbeams stole into the heart of each round drop and nestled there; the fresh, cool air was sweet with the breath of a thousand flowers; a beautiful bird chorus filled the earth with riotous melody as the happy-hearted songsters flitted from tree to tree saying, "Good morning," to their neighbors. Through a mass of rosy clouds in the east, the sun struggled up over the hilltop and smiled down on the sleeping village of Parker as if trying to coax the dreamers to arise and behold the beauties of the dawning day. In the barn-yards of the little farms scattered around about the town roosters were crowing, hens were clucking, cattle lowing, and horses stamping and neighing, eager for their breakfast.

Review By E. Norton My mother first read this book to me when I was a little girl. I started lookimg for a copy when I was pregmamt with my first child but found it had been out of print for some time. I was very pleased when they decided to print more copies. This book is a story of a little girl with the name Peace Greenfield that doesn't quite fit her. She has many adventures trying to help her family and though her heart is in the right place she always seems to get into trouble instead. This book is beautifully writen iand captures the spirt of children. Review by Wayne Walker: At the Little Brown House is a happy reminder of the days when children's books were expected to illustrate good character traits and teach important lessons rather than just showing how hard, cold, and cruel the world is. Those books didn't ignore the fact that the world can be hard, cold, and cruel, but instead of creating doubt and despair they showed that there is still good in the world and that proper solutions to problems can be found, especially for those who trust God. I must admit that sometimes Peace's attitude, especially her temper, annoyed me a little and tried my patience. But the predicaments which she caused were usually done innocently, and she had a good heart, repented of her misdeeds, and learned from her mistakes. The Greenfields' best friends were the new minister, his wife, and their baby boy. Also, a lot of emphasis is placed on praying and looking to God for help and guidance.
