I really appreciated the insight this book gave me into the remarkable life of Laura and the achievement of her books.

Her other writing isn't as exciting as the Little House series so don't expect to 'hear' Laura when you read this.

Just because I enjoyed the Little House so much, I was curious about the rest of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life. This was an interesting book of her writings. While it didn't contain as many details about her later life, it was still interesting to read her thoughts on a wide variety of subjects.

Nice, quick read about Laura Ingalls Wilder and her writing. The included writings from LIW's family members - Pa, Ma, Mary, Carrie and Grace - were very interesting. I was also impressed by the quality of Mary's poems and her graceful acceptance of her blindness.

Photos are scattered throughout the book and I think a couple of them were new to me.

Good book if you are a big LIW fan. :)

I read the Little House books in grade school and again as a teenager when my mother bought them for me. A Little House Reader shows insight to Laura's life that compliments her series. Her attitudes and opinions on women and homemaking are brilliant.

A collection of writing by Laura Ingalls Wilder, from childhood to adulthood, as well as a few pieces by other family members. Includes a number of photos not seen in other books. Good for the Laura Ingalls Widler fans!

This is an excellent book for those of us who read the "Little House" series like it's the Bible. Laura's views on farming, life, and the ways of the world are an incredible insight into the works of the author.

I was a bit of a LIW fan girl in my youth. That seems a little strange to say now that I know a lot more about her personal life and leanings. Anyway, I recall I found this is a small bookshop while traveling and was all excited that there was more Little House material to be read. It's a charming book, and I enjoyed being taken back to my childhood love of the Little House books.
