Book 31: Sugar Creek Gang #2

leaprog-scg

Paul Hutchens: Sugar Creek Gang: The Killer Bear (1940).

I own some other books of this series, but this is the first which has nothing to do with any of the 5 movies (all rating 5).

Again rather few bibs scenes but obsiously most or all of the gang members were barefoot and wearing overalls including Bill (who never did in the movies).

P10: Bill and Dragonfly running barefeet in overalls, legs cuffed up.

P18: Poetry put out a fur from his overalls pocket

P74: 2 boys in overalls (Till brothers) crawled into a tent

P49: playing leapfrog and rolling in the grass (not mentioned in overalls but most likely). A very good idea playing leapfrog in overalls. Not sure if I've see it in any movie. I think maybe Jason in The Waltons.

The pic is not from the book as the modern editions don't have any illustrations. Some foreign editions and maybe earlier editions do (however I don't know of any overalls pic).

The book is very religious, much more than the movies. Almost on every other page there's something about the bible, Jesus, people should be saved (like Circus's dad drinking alcohol) and the like. The bear story is only on the last 3 pages.

In between mostly desrciptions of their lives, farm chores...

But I probably will purchase some more books of this series. Previous entry:
