Representaion In Favor Of Books The Singing Tree (Kate and Jancsi #2)

Life on the Hungarian plains is changing quickly for Jancsi and his cousin Kate. Father has given Jancsi permission to be in charge of his own herd, and Kate has begun to think about going to dances. Jancsi hardly even recognizes Kate when she appears at Peter and Mari's wedding wearing nearly as many petticoats as the older girls wear. And Jancsi himself, astride his prized horse, doesn't seem to Kate to be quite so boyish anymore. Then, when Hungary must send troops to fight in the Great War and Jancsi's father is called to battle, the two cousins must grow up all the sooner in order to take care of the farm and all the relatives, Russian soldiers, and German war orphans who take refuge there.

Crit Regarding Books The Singing Tree (Kate and Jancsi #2)

One of the great books of my childhood, this one is much more serious that its predecessor "The Good Master." War and prejudice enter and interrupt the halcyon days of Kate and Jansci's Hungarian village. The illustrations of these books add to their appeal.

A remarkable book. Its appealing predecessor (The Good Master) was pleasant and informative about Hungarian culture, but this is deep. Read it and remember that it was published in October 1939, at the very start of World War II. It tells a tale of the first great war, the "war to end all wars," but what can we, as modern readers, think when we read Moses Mandelbaum's words to Márton Nagy: "This makes me sure now...for the first time sure, that [his brothers] Joseph and Sam have not died in

This is the sequel to The Good Master. It was very well written. The characters are lovable amidst the very difficult time of the first World War in Hungary. We were fully engrossed in the setting and time period and loved the message that deep down, all peoples are the same when their hearts are good.I was often in tears as I read this to my kids, simply from the goodness in it as well as because of the sadness of the war. But we all also laughed aloud many times because of the joy the

This review also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom.A sequel to The Good Master, this book departs from the warmth and safety of its predecessor and meditates instead upon the encroachment of violence into the daily lives of ordinary people. Two years after her summer adventures with cousin Jancsi, Kate has stayed at her uncle's ranch, along with her father, who has found work as a schoolteacher in a nearby community. The family is excited to participate in a traditional Hungarian wedding, a

This was one of my favorites as a child, so much so that I go back and read it every few years. Kate Seredy brought the Hungarian landscape to life, and taught me about World War I though the eyes of two Hungarian Children: Jansci and Kate. Its issues are more complex than The Good Master and a good introduction to adult subjects such as war and religious and racial discrimination for younger readers without the hammering that is so often seen in modern and preachy children's books. I highly

5 stars (without hesitation from an adult reader). This is the sequel to "The Good Master", the story of two cousins, Jancsi and Kate, and life on a farm/ranch on the Hungarian plains. That book was full of a wistful nostalgia of times passing. This one..... This one was written at the very beginnings of WWII and set in early 1914 and carrying through all of WWI. Some reviewers have stated that it is a pacifist piece and, to the degree that it portrays war as nothing good, it is - WWI was a

I read this aloud to my kids. We thought that there was no way that it could be as good as The Good Master, but it exceeded our expectations! This was a beautiful story about the destruction and darkness of war, but it was also full of love, laughter, and human kindness shown to all humans without thought of language, religion, or heritage. What a powerful message of love and acceptance. This is the type of book that makes you want to be a better person.
