I'm really surprised I never read these as a kid, it was such an awesome show. This book is so refreshing and takes you back to a simpler time that doesn't have all the noise and self-interest of today. A time when people looked out for one another. God and family were number 1 in life. People actually appreciated what they had because they worked extremely hard for all of it. It's a beautiful escape that I think we all could learn from.

I remember this book very well.
My fourth-grade teacher wanted everyone in my class to pick one of the books she had selected for us for our IR book. There were so many different books I was interested in, but everyone took them. Then, this book was the last one on the table. I honestly didn't want anything to do with this book, but my teacher said, "I think you'll like this one a lot. I liked this when I was little, too." She gave me the book, and I didn't object. I didn't really want to read it very much, but I listened to her word.
When I began to delve deeper, I feel deeply in love with it. I remember it being quite easy and Laura and Mary were quite memorable characters. I finished it quite quickly, loving every aspect of it. I told my teacher I loved it so much that she bought all the other books in the series for me.
I didn't finish the whole series that year, but when I moved onto my upper-elementary school, I asked the librarians if they had any Laura Ingalls Wilder books, and they told me that they had thrown them away.
My heart broke into literal pieces. I still read more of these books from my local library (not my school library). I still love them today.
A library isn't a real library without this book.

Wow, what a simple, beautiful story! I was read this by my sister when I was little, and I remember being so fascinated by it. But it was so cool to read it on my own and have that more experienced outlook. I think I was getting tired of action-packed books, and it was so good to read a sweet, simple memoir to take a break from that.

Some negative descriptions of African-Americans and American Indians. Be ready to explain to children why those descriptions are included; and introduce them to books such as:
-Birchbark House / Louise Erdrich
-Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry / Mildred D. Taylor
