I read this book when I was little and I recall the story being very good, but to this day I still remember how wonderful I thought the illustrations.

This is the PERFECT book to introduce little ones to the Ingalls and life in Laura's family. Readers of Wilder's books will recognize snippets of longer stories included here, like visitors during the summer, a bit about the work necessary on a homestead, and Pa finding a honey tree. But it's brief enough that it will hold a preschooler's attention. The artwork is gorgeous!

The illustrations are beautiful; the story has definitely been simplified for a younger child but it still has the neat turn of phrase here or there. I'd like to read more in this series.

These Little House illustrations just may be the best I've ever seen in my entire life of reading. They are so amazingly perfect I can't put into words how I feel. You really get a feeling when you look at them, some sort of peaceful feeling that isn't the norm, at least for me, when looking at the pictures in any kind of book. The illustrations get 5 stars by themselves.
The story is slightly lacking IMO. I wish there would have been more. More excitement. More detail maybe. Just more.
I believe the books are good for kids though, if only to show some differences between life now and life then.
Seeing two little girls under a tree playing with dolls instead of watching cartoons is important I think. Seeing a little girl bringing her Father lunch while he works in the field is important. There's a lot of importance in these books but IMO that's found more in the illustrations than in the text.
