books10 's review for:

The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
4.0

Although I loved reading as a kid, I had never read these books. It wasn’t until I had my own daughter, and she fell in love with the Cherry Jones narrations of the books as she drifted off to sleep each night that I decided I really needed to hear this whole series. I just finished The First Four Years, and after following Laura from a young girl in the big woods to her first four years of marriage, this series has become one of my top two. I’m some ways times were so much more difficult than what we have today, but in other ways, times were so much more simpler. If I have grandchildren some day, I hope I can introduce them to this series.
