This was a very nice collection of Christmas' the Ingallas family celebrated through the series of the Little House books. I think it had three maybe four 'stories' of their Christmas celebrations. From the one in the Big Woods to the one during the Hard Winter. Nice to read them all gathered into one book. These are almost word for word from the book they came from so if you are one that doesn't like to repeat read something then this book wouldn't be for you, but if you don't mind rereading something and enjoy reading things pertaining to the time of year it currently is. This is a great book to read to remember what families did in the past when there wasn't any money or neighbors.

I read this one with my youngest daughter. It's a compilation of the Christmas stories from the Little House books.

It was perfect for my 6 year old. The Little House books are too long for her, but we enjoyed the short little Christmas stories.

Read-aloud. Having never read the full Little House series, I still enjoyed this. I think it was a little hard for my son to follow, because it was only selected stories and there wasn’t much time to get to know the characters. Overall, I liked it okay, but I didn’t love it. I know times were different when the books were written, but the sexism and some outdated ideas and language were a little too prevalent for me to want to read the rest of the series with my son.

Ngga ada kata lain kalo buat karya-nya Laura Ingals...bakalan dibabat abis begitu terima ditangan!
I adore her...

Such precious sweet stories of Christmas on the prairies where simple things were enjoyed and family treasured. ❤️

I think it is a little boring(on my first try),and a little fun,and I can't think of any more.

In this 'Little House' collection, we walk with Laura through a few Christmas' spent with family and friends. We hear about the time that Christmas almost wasn't, if not for the fortuitous meeting of Mr. Edwards and Santa Claus. We learn the secret to getting what you REALLY want for Christmas (wish wish wish with all your might and get your family in on it too!). We even learn how small gestures of kindness and giving are returned tenfold in the blessings we ourselves receive.


**copy received for review

Christmas Stories features nine Christmas stories along with some fun Christmas-themed activities and an author introduction in the back of the book. It's been a while since I've read the original Little House books, but the reading level for this book felt similar to the original books. The only difference is that this book is smaller since it only includes select stories. This makes it more accessible to younger readers who would feel daunted by a larger chapter book.

That said, this book would make a great introduction for young readers to the Little House world. I'll be saving this one to enjoy with young readers during the Christmas holidays!

My girls loved having this as our readaloud! We read multiple chapters a night, and they so enjoyed hearing about Laura's Christmases.
