Smaller version of a tale from the Little House on the prairie

We love all the My First Little House books! Four and a half stars for the series.

This a story about Laura Ingalls Wilder when she lived in the woods of Wisconsin. The book goes through what her family does to prepare for the winter days that are coming to the big woods. They have to get the vegetables from the garden, her pa went hunting for meat, and her sister Mary and her have to churn the butter. The end of the book shows the family in the cabin being warm and having each other to get through the winter.

I would use this book in my classroom because it is a story that I enjoyed as a kid. It is about a real girl and how she lived through the pioneer days which I could teach to my students while I read this story. It also gives students an image about what life would look like back then.

This is such a cute book to share the Little House on the Prairie story to a young child. I read this to my daughters each winter. We wonder what it must have been like to live in a log cabin during the winter in that time. We love the sweet illustrations. My girls always comment on Laura and Mary’s dresses. Highly recommend, especially for little girls.

A great way to introduce younger children to the beauty of the Little House books.

Teachers can read this book when discussing pioneers and life during the pioneer times.

A very sweet introduction to the Little House books for the youngest readers. Join the Ingalls family as they prepare for the coming winter, and indulge in fun indoor activities once the season arrives. This is a perfect warm and cozy read when the weather is getting you down.

A great segmented series that breaks out smaller stories from the series. This series is a great introduction to the Laura Ingalls Wilder series to move the young reader onto once they are ready. This one is an intro to life in the big woods and gives a good description of the chores.

Gabe and I read this together for School. It was wonderful. I particularly loved the story from Pa's boyhood when he and his brothers broke the sabbath to go sledding. Gabe and I had a good laugh over that one. Now I always bring up the sabbath day habits of the Wilder's and Ingall's when Gabe complains to me about our not-nearly-so-strict sabbath day rules.

It was interesting to see the life of these individuals, very informational.

A pioneer's depiction of what preparing for winter would have been like, hunting, harvesting and storing all the food supplies necessary. Beautiful descriptions of the daily rhythms taking place in the household and how a household thrives based on this rhythm. An appreciation for the seasons, nature and the seemingly mundane tasks are shown through the light of joyfulness. A refreshing picture of life in a contrasting culture of fast paced, tech filled days.
