Long, long ago, a little girl named Laura Ingalls set off westward towards the prairie along with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their faithful old bulldog, Jack. Each day, they journeyed far in their covered wagon, traversing through the tall grass until they discovered the perfect location for their new home. With the assistance of their kind neighbor, Mr. Edwards, Pa constructed a cozy little house for the family in the midst of the wide-open prairie.

Subject: Frontier and pioneer life -- Great Plains -- Juvenile fiction.
All the books in this series are truly beautiful. They offer a great introduction to pioneer life, which can be a fascinating topic. However, it should be noted that they may not easily connect to preschoolers who have no frame of reference for that era. My son read them after he first learned to read, and he found them quite engaging. The stories are excerpted from Wilder's actual books, which adds an element of authenticity. These books can be a wonderful addition to any child's library, especially for those who are interested in learning about the past or who enjoy adventure stories. Whether read alone or with an adult, they are sure to provide hours of entertainment and education.
