garyandmolly Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I am looking for books similar to James Herriott books or Cheaper by the Dozen? True books but easy light reading for an adult? Any ideas of authors or book titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hmm...like it on my shelf are: The Egg and I - Betty McDonald (she wrote Mrs. Pigglewiggle, too) It's the story of her cross-country honeymoon trip Yours, Mine, and Ours - two large families blending in the 1960s The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio - a biography of a contester in the 1950s (her daughter wrote the book) Red Scarf Girl - growing up in China during Chairman Mao's reign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 You might look at YA versions of adult nonfiction. For example, there's a young reader's edition of I Am Malala and another of The Boy Who Harnassed the Wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Another good genre to check out would be the ubiquitous homesteader memoirs. The series Nothing too Good for a Cowboy would fit the bill. Bears in my Kitchen is really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
