A Little Prairie House (Little House) Review

My kids (I've got all boys) like Little House a lot.

We re-read the Little House series (the big books) often, and as we go along, I rely on these short picture books to give even more information than what the original Garth Williams illustrations could show.

I love this book in particular -- this one shows them picking the site for their cabin as described in Little House on the Prarie, then it shows Pa, Ma, and Mr. Edwards constructing the house. My favorite illustration is the one of Laura inside the house with the sunshine stripes all around.

We also rely on "Pioneer Girl: the Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder" by William T. Anderson and "A Pioneer Sampler" by Barbara Greenwood -- the pictures do the storytelling.

Great introductory book for Little House on the Prairie Series - gram50 -
I purchased this book for my granddaughters, who are 5 and 3. They enjoyed the book and they both said they wished they could live in a little log house!!!! They definitely are intrigued and I look forward to buying more of this series to enjoy with them. Perhaps when they are older they will want to read the Little House on the Prairie series.

BEWARE - This is NOT "Little House on the Prairie" - A reader - Highland Park, NJ
I didn't read the title carefully enough. It is certainly misleading. This is a simple summary with pictures and seems somewhat pointless. I thought I was getting "Little House on the Prairie" for my 8 year old granddaughter. I cannot imagine that this version would be of interest to her or to her 5 year old sister. I plan to just donate it to the Friends of the Library Sale. Maybe someone else will like it.

Captivating Story, Great for Younger Readers - Wilkie - New York
Both my 6 and 3 year olds loved this story and can't wait to read the others in the series.
