I honestly didn’t remember all of the horrible things the family lines through in these 3 books. I loved seeing the original illustrations, but it was a little unsettling to have the cover be in the style of Garth Williams rather than match the interior illustrations. Just a reminder to myself that there was a fair amount of discussion i had with my 6-year-old regarding Ma’s (And others) attitudes towards and comments about Native Americans. I know these are historically accurate but not acceptable.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was one of my favorite childhood authors. I would highly recommend her stories no matter your age. I have read them over and over again, finding them wonderfully interesting.

When I was in first grade I discovered the Little House series and my love of reading was born. My friend Holly and I used to be obsessed with these books and we would read and act them out together. Santa Clause brought me the entire series for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 and I read these books more times than I can count. I still have all of the books (minus one that I ruined while I was trying to read it while taking a bath) and I am excited to pass them on to my daughter.

I read all of the Laura Ingells Wilder books as a child, from our school library. I purchased this copy a few years ago on sale at Borders. I plan to read these again--maybe to my granddaughter.
