Book Reviews of Thee, Hannah!
Book Review: Great Fun and a Great Conversation Starter.
Summary: 5 Stars
Every child I know who has read it has found it both funny and captivating. If you buy it, the whole concept of saying "thee" all the time is pretty funny and your kids might imitate it for a while and want you to play along. It's fun! But the book tugs on the heart as well. Especially, for this African-American family, the part where Hannah renders aid and assistance to the runaway slave has always been particularly moving and a great conversation starter.
I loved it as a child, bought it for my nieces and nephews, then for my own child and now for my grandkids. I loaned my last copy to a friend whose 2nd grade child had just learned about slavery and was having trouble dealing with how America could have accepted it. Well, not everyone accepted it and Marguerite de Angeli brings this point home in her typically gentle, unobtrusive manner. But I never got my book back so here I am, buying it again. It is well worth every penny and is a great addition to any family's permanent collection.
I highly recommend it.
Summary of Thee, Hannah!
Nine-year-old Hannah, a Quaker living in Philadelphia just before the Civil War, longs to have some fashionable dresses like other girls but comes to appreciate her heritage and its plain dressing when her family saves the life of a runaway slave.General Books
