I never realized that this collection of My First Little House Books existed. This is a wonderful example of historical fiction meant for younger children. The Little House series was always fascinating not only to me, but also to my Mother. We loved watching the series and reading the books when I was older. It was a pleasure to introduce something that I loved as a child to my son, who is five years old. He was fascinated with how they made bathwater and why Sundays were so quiet. By the end of the story, he was interested in getting a fiddle for himself. This was a lovely story that boys and girls alike would enjoy. The illustrations were charming and showcased the love between the family. I would recommend this book to parents and to educators.

This is one of several books in a series titled "My first little house". A single episode from "Little House in the Books" is illustrated as a picture book for younger children. The stories are classic and the drawings are well done, but the books fall rather flat when they are read to real live pre-schoolers. I think the difficulty is that children who are too young for the original books are too young to have a sophisticated enough sense of time to appreciate even simple historical fiction. Wait a year or two and read the original together.
ETA: I was wrong. My youngest niece, Willa (5) discovered these books on her own at the library as she was turning 4 and fell in love. They were the perfect gateway to both imaginative play as Laura and now she's enthralled with the originals.

Not my favorite in this series. Sundays were boring days for Laura Ingalls so they are not put in a great light

Love these first step books to the Little House series. In this one, Laura celebrates her fifth birthday. Very simple illustrations to compliment the story.

Notes:
All the books in this series are beautiful.
Great intro to pioneer life, but may not connect to preschoolers with no frame of reference.
Son read them after he first learned to read.
Excerpted from Wilder's actual books.

Much to my delight, my boys who are five and two absolutely love these books! The "My First Little House" series takes stories out of the original little house books and illustrates them beautifully. My boys love to point out each family member and my five year old asks lots of questions. These books have become a wonderful way to introduce history and "the simple life" to my little ones. These books have great family values. :)
