I read these books, as a teenager. They resonated with me then and still do. My mom gave me this series. They were old, well worn books. That were given as a gift by her mother. Lost these treasured books through the unrolling of the years. Which is a tragedy. The age maturity development was expediated during these hard times. The lifestyle, the culture of these times is fascinating. Our culture now seens to have the opposite effect...on creating a climate of growth, accountability and resilience.

REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITION

So one of my main children’s literature reading projects this year will be to (hopefully) and finally reread and post detailed reviews for Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series (as thus far, I have only managed to do this for the third novel, for Little House on the Prairie). But while my reviews for the individual series novels will of course be posted separately, I am in fact going to be reading each of the Little House novels from this here simply wonderful and totally reader-friendly Kindle edition, from The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection.

Because it is in my humble much much easier and much less stressful reading nine novels in a single e-book omnibus (and yes, part of the reason why I have to date only managed to reread and review Little House on the Prairie and not any of the other series novels is precisely because it was always too much of a pain to keep lugging my hardcover editions of the Little House on the Prairie series around with me, something that is of course totally avoided with The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection as everything is ready, waiting and easily portable as a Kindle edition, as an e-book).

Four stars for the general and very much reader-friendly set-up I have encountered in The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection and with my only caveat being that while ALL of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s texts have been faithfully and completely presented, unfortunately none of Garth William’s accompanying illustrations are included (something that does not really bother me all that much, since I have always found Williams’ pictures for the Little House on the Prairie series more like visual trims than an essential part of my reading experience, but since I do realise that for many readers, Garth Williams’ illustrations are an essential part of their childhood reading experience with regard to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s memoirs, I do feel that I must issue a warning that this here e-book omnibus, that The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection only features Laura Ingalls Wilder’s printed words and does not include Garth Williams’ artwork).

This is an incredible book that you have to read at some point in your life. I think it has been one of my favorite books this year.

These were the first chapter book series I ever read as a child. I finished and started them all in the 4th grade for the first time and have reread them multiple times. I love these books with all my heart, and I hope that my children will feel the same someday. They are wonderful, wholesome, and family-oriented stories of a great family (the Ingalls), Laura's future husband and his childhood (the 3rd book), and their early married life. How can people fail to not love these novels through all these decades that they've been around? Answer: they can't and will continue for many more decades and eventually centuries.

I read these aloud to my daughter over the course of four months. Laura, the author and narrator, describes the life & times of her family as they move west.

What I love best are the depictions of nature. They are mythic, going beyond what is seen to make us wonder at the beauty & greatness of existence. & the wolves! They are mentioned in several of the books, but my favorite is probably when they are surrounding the house, howling. Pa is watching them from a window in the house with a curtain for a door. He sits with his gun handy, but doesn't shoot at them. Instead he picks Laura up so she can see better and tells her to look at how their fur shines in the moonlight. Whoa.

Because the family trespasses on Indian Territory and because many people hate/fear them, we had plenty of opportunity to talk about racism & white privilege.
