"The finest firsthand picture of American pioneer life ever written for children." -- -- San Francisco Chronicle

About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.

Great book. My 4th grade daughter who is a struggling reader was able to read it on her own because the text is not too difficult, but still found the stories really interesting. My 1st grade daughter who is an advanced reader also really liked them - and I enjoyed reading a few of the chapters to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you. My stepdaughter loves it!, November 30, 2009

For anyone who has loved the "Little House" books, but maybe has a child who is not ready to read that much text yet, this book has all the excitement of the stories in an easier to read format. I purchased this book and hope to get a class set to read with second graders who are becoming fluent readers, but may not be willing to invest the time to read the thicker books until later. I plan on using it as a book club selection in school. This one has short chapters, each one of the animal stories Laura Ingalls related in some of her other books.
