A review by crankylibrarian
Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
5.0
Re-read this with my 7 year old daughter and was amazed at how moving it was. There is a sense of heart-breaking futility at the end: all that effort, all those dangers, and for what?
The scenes with the Indians are chilling, both in their terror and the tragedy of the settlers' heartless outlook. A deceptively simple book with much to ponder for adults and children.
