Book 1 in the ‘Adventures of Lily Lapp’ series.
Lily is six in this story, just starting first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in upstate New York. Her parents are busy building a farm, and soon animals join the family—Jenny the cow and Chubby the miniature horse. A baby brother arrives, too, which Lily has mixed feelings about. (She wanted a sister!) Aside from a mischievous friend like Mandy Mast, Lily is happy at school and even happier at home. Trouble is brewing at the schoolhouse and change is on the horizon for Lily and her family.

My Thoughts
Lily Lapp is just starting school in the first grade. She really likes here new teacher and all the fun things she gets to do in school. She gets to sit beside her cousin Hannah. Her favorite thing to do is art and recess. She has to learn to not to let her peers influence her into doing things that always end up getting her in trouble.
At home Lily is her mother's little helper while learning to to do what it takes to care for her families needs. A big part of her daily activities is watching over her two younger brothers. It is not all school and chores there is plenty of fun time.
She has a new miniature horse she named chubby and he pulls a little cart she can ride by herself.
This is a sweet book that is similar in many ways to the Little House on the Prairies series. It is about the everyday activities of a six year old little girl. Her and her family are Old Order Amish. Author Mary Ann Kinsinger takes memories from her childhood to build the story of Lily. Suzanne Woods Fisher pulls all of these memories together into this darling series.
I plan on getting this series for my granddaughters. They will learn through Lily's series that life does not always go the way they might expect. It will teach them the importance of family, following the rules and having trust and faith in God. It is an all around fun read.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
