Sarah Plain and Tall is about two young children, Caleb and Anna, whose mother dies during childbirth. Their father discovers Sarah through an add in the paper. Caleb and Anna eventually love Sarah. However, Sarah is homesick for Maine. When she goes on a trip to town, the two children are worried that Sarah will not return. Sarah does come back and tells the children that she loves them much more than her other home.
I would use this book as part of an upper elementary classroom library. This is good literature for students to read and I think they would enjoy the book. The characters are close to the same age, so although the book was set in a different time period, students can still relate.
