About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. As her classic Little House books tell us, she and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. She and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books, and lived until she was ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful version of the Little House books!, July 19, 1999

This review is from: Dance at Grandpa's (My First Little House) (Paperback)

My 2-year-old daughter loves this series (My First Little House Books). Dance at Grandpa's was her first and still her favorite. At 2, she is already fascinated by Laura, Mary, Pa, and Ma and their lives...just as I was by reading the Little House series when I was older. Dance at Grandpa's is a wonderful story with beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend it (and the other books) to all parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4-year-old's favorite book!, May 7, 1998

Dance at Grandpa's, and ALL the "My First Little House Books", are wonderful! They've been a great way to get my pre-schooler interested in American history. She can really identify with the characters, and is fascinated by how life was different in "the old days".

As a family, we read the Little House series over the summer -- me reading out loud to the kids.

On a recent trip to the library, we were hanging out in the W's and found this illustrated series. The easy text and full-page illustrations make it perfect for younger kids, not yet ready for chapter books but beyond early readers.

Nice for my youngest to go through these as a reminder of last summer's reading.
