    About this ebook

    Few coming of age stories have touched quite as many readers as "Little Women." The story about the lives of four sisters is just as relevant today as it was then.

    If you want to introduce your children to the classic work, then this is the perfect book. It takes the structure and plot of Alcott’s work and puts it into a language and format that younger kids will understand.

    KidLit-O’s newest series helps introduce younger readers to classic works of literature by retelling them as beginning reader chapter books.

      About

      KidLit-o was started for one simple reason: our kids. They wanted to find a way to introduce classic literature to their children.

      Books in this series take all the classics that they love and make them age appropriate for a younger audience—while still keeping the integrity and style of the original.

      We hope you and you children enjoy them. We love feedback, so if you have a question or comment, stop by our website!

      Chapter One: Playing Pilgrims

      The four March sisters sat around the fireplace in their home. From oldest to youngest, the girls are named Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.

      Christmas won’t be the same without presents, grumbled Jo.

      Being poor is so terrible! Meg sighed as she looked at her old dress.

      It’s not fair that some girls have everything and other girls have nothing, added Amy.

      At least we have Mom, Dad, and each other, said Beth.

      They were all happy after Beth spoke, but became sad again when Jo said But we don’t have Father here and won’t for a long time. He might never return.

      Mother said we shouldn't be buying presents this year because it's going to be hard fore everyone this winter. The war is making life tough for all of us, especially the soldiers. We should make sacrifices. Even as Meg said these words she hoped for pretty things at Christmas.

      Each of us only have a dollar, said Jo, and that's not going to help anyone very much. Jo loved books and was hoping to buy a novel. Beth herself wanted to buy new music sheets and Amy wanted coloring pencils as she loved art.

      We've worked hard for that money. I don't think Mother would mind if we spent it on ourselves, said Jo.

      The clock struck six and Beth put their mother's slippers near the fire to warm them up. Jo noticed that they were old and worn. We should get Marmee a new pair of slippers!

      Meg and Beth volunteered right away to spend their own money on the slippers, even though it was Jo's idea. Beth then suggested that they all buy something for Marmee, which all the girls agreed was a good idea.

      I'll buy her some gloves, said Meg.

      I'll get her some tough army shoes that will last a long time, said Jo.

      Beth said that she would get her mother some handkerchiefs and Amy said she'd get her a small bottle of perfume so that there would be a little bit of money left to spend on herself.

      We'll go shopping tomorrow, said Jo. We also have to practice for the play.

      I'm getting too old for acting, said Meg.

      Jo was the director and writer of the play, and she made everyone practice their parts. Eventually, the girls were having lots of fun when their mother walked in.

      It looks like you girls are having a good day, she said. Marmee took off her wet clothes and put on her warm slippers in front of the fire. The girls made everything ready for dinner while their mother rested.

      I've got a treat for all of you after supper, said Marmee.

      It's a letter from Father, cried Jo.

      That' right, said Marmee. "He is doing well and sends his love for Christmas. He also has a special message to you girls, but you'll have to wait until after dinner.

      The girls hurried each other up so they could hear the message. They missed their father very much.

      It was so good of Father to join the army as a minister, said Meg.

      I wish I was with him right now, said Jo. I could be a nurse or a drummer boy,

      The girls circled their mother after dinner in front of the fire as she read out loud. The letter was cheerful and described life in the military. The special message was right at the end of the letter. Give the girls my love and a kiss from, Marmee read. I think of them everyday and miss them, but tell them that we shouldn't ever waste time. Remind them to work hard and not be silly, so that when I come home I can be proud of my little women.

      The letter convinced the girls that they should be good and made everyone happy. As they sat around the house doing their
