Product Description:

Category Description for Little Britches Series:

Often touted as the "Little House for Boys," these books tell the story of author Ralph Moody, beginning as a young boy on a Colorado ranch in the early 1900's.

These books make absorbing read-alouds for younger children, too. Be aware, however, that there is some inappropriate language used - no doubt in keeping with the actual verbiage of rugged cowboys and characters of the time.

  • Book 1: Little Britches
  • Book 2: Man of the Family
  • Book 3: The Home Ranch
  • Book 4: Mary Emma & Company
  • Book 5: The Fields of Home
  • Book 6: Shaking the Nickel Bush
  • Book 7: The Dry Divide
  • Book 8: Horse of a Different Color

This grandmother read Little Britches, the 1st in the series, and our library does not have this 2nd one in the series. I must know what happens next!

This series is a great read! I did it as a read aloud with my kids and periodically reread it for myself.

Christmas gift for grandsons. We read this for our children when they were young and we all enjoyed reading it. Great story about a boy growing up in CO during the early 1900's. My grandsons also live in this area of CO. We liked it as much as the Little House books.

Excellent picture of the west at the turn of the 20th century. Eye-opening to my kids. Great read!
