Little House in the Big Woods,
This review is from: Little House Big Woods (Paperback)
I bought this book for a young friend. I loved the book when I read it with my mother in 1955. This book is timeless. It is well written and holds the interest of the young reader. Good for both sexes and all ages, I feel. My young reader now is eager to read the rest of the series.

This review is from: Little House Big Woods (Paperback)
I read these as a youngster and I am re-reading them after a trip near Independence, Kansas where we saw a house where Laura's family once setteld. They are great books! I am seeing the whole experience from a new perspective now that I am 35 (relating more with Ma I think) and I am enjoying the stories completely. It's also nice because the books can be read in a single afternoon or just a few hours. A wonderful look at the pioneer life with details about cheese making, maple suger harvests, and cabin building (in the later novels). I highly recommend these books but suggest reading them in order to keep the story of Laura's adventures straight.

Best of the series,

This review is from: Little House Big Woods (Paperback)
I am an 8 year old girl who loves the Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Why I liked it is because it's so happy and because I liked the little girls. My favourite part is when they go to a dance at Grandma's house and Laura danced with her uncle. I would recommend this book for people who like to read happy books.
