Cheap Imitation!, Oct 21 2008
By Charles N. Clark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brookfield Days (Paperback)
I don't want to be mean here, but I have to speak my thoughts. This book "Brookfield Days" is only a much lesser shadow of the book "Little House in Brookfield." I'd rather get my money's worth and buy the whole book of "Little House in Brookfield", then waste it on a book that only has a few chapters and not only that, abridges them into short versions. I suppose they made this one for younger readers, but I'd rather let the child read the whole book then a shorter copy, its much more exciting. I think this one was dispointing, and pointless.

Great....... An earlier life of Laura, Jun 16 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brookfield Days (Library Binding)
This book is great. Ever since I read ONE of The Laura Ingalls Wilder Series I just can't stop. I have all the books from Laura's great-grandmother to her daughter Rose. They are great books to read!

Great for younger or beginning readers, Mar 2 2009
By C. Delvecchio - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brookfield Days (Paperback)
I just read this book with my 7 year old and liked it very much. As a beginning reader she is not ready for the longer versions of the Little House books. I read her Little House in the Big Woods and she had a harder time keeping up because of the longer length and more complicated story line. She loved Caroline though and wants to read more of them. Soon she will be able to read them herself and they will be the perfect length. In a couple of years she will be ready for the full-length Little House series, but for now this is perfect.
