I loved this series. Its the type you read when you're maybe 8-12. I think I read it when I was that age, don't remember anymore!! But it was so cool to see...read...her grow up, and all the adventures of her childhood. I definitely recommend it!
This has been such a great bedtime book! Thanks for the idea, Megan. We actually didn't finish it, we only read 4 of the 5 books in this one, but the girls have been getting a little tired of reading this one for 6 months straight. So we're switching to E. B. White for awhile. I highly recommend this one for bedtime for little ones!
These are some of the best children's books EVER. I have read them so many times. I've read the whole series to my kids twice. Laura Ingalls Wilder is a wonderful writer with a wonderful simple writing style that appeals to young and old. What great lessons from times gone past. The world would be a poorer place without these books.
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder is an exquisite set of books that I cherished growing up. Read until they were dog-eared, this series has to be one of my childhood favorites. A story about a young girl growing up on the frontier, it was so popular they made it into a T.V. series even though the series didn't do it justice. Stories as a young girl I could relate to, the mean girl in town, fights with my sisters, and just the struggles of everyday life of any family. The love Ma and Pa had for each other showed through so much so, that even today I can still see Caroline's eye's sparkling bright blue as Pa whirled her around the dance floor. This series is a perfect example of a story well told. When you're there in Laura's life so much that you can feel her fear when in trouble, or you can taste the penny candy on Christmas, that's a story. I have no doubt this will be a children's classic for years to come. I highly recommend it.
I've loved re-reading these books after so many years. They are just as great as I remembered. I was especially amazed this time how skilled people were then. They knew how to do so many things that most of can't do anymore. They were so self-sufficient. There is much to admire there. I can't wait to read the rest.
One of the few sets of books that I have read multiple times. The Little House books are some of the first that actually interested me. I can still remember reading them in the car when we went to visit Desmet, SD when I was around 8 or 9.
