Estes worked as a children's librarian, and began writing children's books in the 1930s while recovering from tuberculosis. Her first book, <cite>The Moffats<\/cite>, was published in 1941. During her career, Eleanor Estes wrote twenty books, including three more books about the indomitable Moffats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1952, Eleanor Estes received the Newbery Medal for <cite>Ginger Pye<\/cite>. She also received Newbery Honor Book awards for <cite>The Middle Moffat<\/cite>, <cite>Rufus M.<\/cite>, and <cite>The Hundred Dresses<\/cite>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>About the Books<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">In the first book in the series, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2uxjWAa\" title=\"The Moffats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>The Moffats<\/cite><\/a>, we're introduced to the Moffat children.<\/span> Concerns arise when a man tacks a \"For Sale\" sign to the front of their beloved yellow house. Although the children attempt to intervene, the threat of the home's possible sale continues throughout the book. The children's other escapades include an impromptu freight train ride for Rufus, the creation of a \"ghost\" in the attic (to scare a troublesome neighbor), and the devastating loss of a $5 bill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2uwlslP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/The-Moffats-Middle-Cover-143x223.jpg\" alt=\"The Middle Moffat - Book 2 in The Moffats Chapter Book Series\" width=\"250\" class=\"right\" \/><\/a><p><span class=\"bold\">Jane is the star of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2uwlslP\" title=\"The Middle Moffat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>The Middle Moffat<\/cite><\/a>, a Newbery Honor book.<\/span>\u00a0As the title suggests, the story follows Jane's adventures as she navigates life as \"the Middle Moffat.\" Despite the children\u2019s best efforts, the yellow house has been sold. The entire Moffat family must adjust to life in a new house on a new street, where Jane makes a new best friend and takes it upon herself to be in the middle of <span class=\"italic\">everything<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Seven-year-old Rufus takes center stage in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HIM9wa\" title=\"Rufus M.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>Rufus M.<\/cite><\/a><\/span> In this Newbery Honor Book, Rufus faces many personal challenges, such as learning to write his name so he can get a library card, impatiently trying to grow beans, and attempting to knit a washcloth to help the war effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span class=\"bold\">The final book in the series is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HFjHeI\" title=\"The Moffat Museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>The Moffat Museum<\/cite><\/a>.<\/span> The book opens with a new idea from Jane: <span class=\"italic\">\"The Moffats should have a museum!\"<\/span> Jane envisions the museum as a place for the Moffats to house their favorite things and celebrate their memories<span>\u2014<\/span>an especially important project because the children are growing up and life is changing for the Moffat family.
