I always loved the Laura Ingalls books when I was little and this one was very cute and nostalgic to read, also fun to see how Laura’s mum lived before the other series

Complicated
There is a disjointedness between chapters that makes it difficult to get to know the characters.
I read all the Little House books as a child, and my now 9-year-old wants nothing to do with them, in part because they're long. I got her this one to try and ease her into them, hoping she'd love this one and want to read Laura's originals. She didn't, but I read it myself. I never knew Caroline's father had died when she was a child and that the grandpa in Little House in the Big Woods was her step-father.

Took me back to when I was young and reading the Little House series. Great series for kids but a wonderful way for adults to revisit this genre.
A cute story, but I didn't find it as charming as the original series. There was a modern feel to the language, and the story didn't flow as well as I would've liked. The seasonal changes felt particularly abrupt.

Apparently I read the abridged edition, which has weird jumps and lacks most detail. I'm surprised they recommend it for ages 8 - 12, since this is something I'd give to ages 7-9.
I need to find the actual book and read it.
