A favourite when I was a child. I think only read it as a Readers Digest edition though.

#HappinessIs ... a little red dog 🐕 going on an adventure to Authors‘ Ridge at Sleepy Hollow in Concord MA. Annual anti-Black Friday #optout pilgrimage to the graves of H.D. Thoreau, the Emersons, Alcott, and DAR Harriet Lothrop — aka Margaret Sidney, author of “The Five Little Peppers.”

I was obsessed with this book as a kid - written in 1881 it‘s the story of a widow and her five children living in poverty. It emphasises the values of family and hard work and honesty etc as a good nineteenth century children‘s book tended to do! There‘s a kind of rescue from poverty along the way but it‘s the first in a series so I‘m not sure if that‘s the end of the story 😊
pickToo sweet for words, like “Heidi” or “The Secret Garden.” #childrensliterature #childrensclassics
Harriet is the author of the Five Peppers books. She's also a maaajor figure in Concord's literary heritage preservation!

Margaret Sidney lived here at The Wayside! The guide says her books were the very popular Harry Potters of her day. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This room dates back to the 1710s.

Apparently I'm only going to post every three days, when I get a chance to scour my bookshelves. 😀 #novemberbythenumbers

I've read a fair amount of classic children's literature but not this one about the Pepper #siblings.

Somewhere along the line, I quit stuffing the peppers and chopping them up into the filling instead. I give you unstuffed peppers. Threw some extra turkey in with the rice to give it more protein.
My husband read these as a child. I didn't read them until I read them to our kids. #pepper #90sinJuly @Robothugs @Cinfhen
It's highly likely I read this book as a child. It's highly unlikely I can tell you anything about it without Google! 😬

My #riotgrams #rainbowbookstack isn't really a stack. I was gifted this sweet collection of children's classics by my grandparents many years ago. It has made every move with me and remains a favorite gift. I especially love the 5 Little Peppers and How they Grew and read it to my children 😄
