"I bought a book home from school called Just David. I like it very much. Bob read it through tonight. I got my ears and fingers cold coming home from school. I got my spelling words alright. I wanted to go to Elsies, but couldn't. I got my report card. I got A in reading, Health, English, Geography and spelling. I got B in Penmanship, arithmetic and deportment."
Just David was written in 1916 by Eleanor Hodgman Porter, the author of Pollyanna. It was a bestseller. Now out of copyright, you can read it for free, here at Google Books.
