We’re excited to introduce our Read-Aloud Poster for Sarah, Plain and Tall, written by Patricia MacLachlan. The printed version of this poster is part of our Pipsqueaks line, posters printed at 20x28 inches for shorter books. This poster has brief activity directions printed directly on the poster rather than in an activity guide; this spotlight blog post serves to provide additional information about the poster.

This short book was originally published in 1985 and won the Newbery Award. We like it best for ages 8 - 10, but younger and older  listeners will enjoy it, too. It’s the story of Anna and Caleb, whose mother has died, and whose father places an ad in the newspaper for a wife. Sarah comes from Maine for a visit, but their prairie home is so different from what she is used to. Will she stay?
