This is one of the best comfort-book-series around - although I always get so hungry when reading it! I want to try fresh made maple syrup and culled corn too! A cozy book about life in the US more than 100 years ago.
Finished reading this to my three girls. I'm so very glad that they are finally all old enough to understand this series. I loved these as a child, but had forgotten so much about them. After all, who reads these after age twelve or so? I just needed the excuse of having all daughter, I guess. ...
I loved these books when I was a little girl. I don't remember them individually, rather as a whole, so this re-read was part refresher and part new experience.

Another 1001 Children’s Books read. Possibly a reread. Probably a reread, but the original read was back forty or so years ago. I liked it. I liked all the details about life during that time. I loved the story about the boring Sunday that Pa felt compelled to top. I loved the stories about the wolv...
