salston 's review for:

Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

4.0

---

I love the Laura Ingalls books, but there are incidents of racism in several of the books. This one, like several others, lead to discussions with my children about racism, and the reasons it is never acceptable. I skipped over the black face performance at one of the literaries, and talked about why I was doing so. Some would say I should have skipped the book altogether, but I thought it best to face racism head on and discuss why it is wrong, rather than pretend it never happened.
