Still just as cute as ever, but I do find now that the first book in this series is the weakest, it's just a bit dry and stilted, but I think it's more that it's written for a very young age. I always like the rest of the series much more than the first one. It was fun to learn about how they did th...

I could be remembering incorrectly, but I believe the Little House books were my first longer reads as a child. I absolutely loved them. And our toddler Sigourney seemed to love Little House in the Big Woods, too. She kept wanting me to turn back to the picture of Laura, Mary and Pa playing Mad Dog....

I forgot what a great kid’s series this in. It’s a simple story about Laura and her family’s life, moving steadily across the country and their struggles with settling during the pioneer times. This is the first installment, and it shows Laura living in Indian Territory. It’s a strange experi...

Dear god, I was starving by the time I finished with this book. It's mostly about preparing foods to live back in the day and it all sounded delicious.

Though not my favorite of the Little House Books, it holds a special place in my heart because it is the only one that takes place in my home state of Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to reading these with Avery in a few years.

My grandparents got me this whole set of Little House books when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I never could figure out why they did that--I didn't even like Little House on the Prairie all that much! I did read the books, but I can't say that I liked them. Just wasn't my cup of tea then (I was...

As a decedent of Laura Wilder (She married into my family :) I've read this book many times as a girl. I cannot wait to read this to my boys... This story is so close to my heart.

This novel, much like all the others in the Little House series, hardly needs an introduction or summary. They are famous the worldover for sharing author's life growing up first in the woods of Wisconsin and later on the wide-open prarie. This first book take us through one year of her early life, ...

3.5/5I read the Little House books as a kid. For whatever reason I never liked them. I decided to give it another shot as an adult. I’m so glad I did. I can definitely see how the books could be considered ‘boring’. The story isn’t a big one. It’s just a year of the Ingalls’ life. Despite the lack o...
