I have been reading these books since I was a little girl. I have been through three or four sets. And now I'm here to hopefully pass on the best childrens books I have ever read. My daughter will be eight soon and these will make a perfect gift. I recomend these books to anyone looking for long hours of enjoyable reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars An educational and enjoyable treat for children...., July 24, 2000

My mother read this book aloud to me when I was 7, and I cannot remember anything else that enthralled me as much during that entire year. Laura Ingalls Wilder tenderly describes the fun and hardship her family experienced as early American settlers, and Garth Williams' illustrations gave me fodder for countless dreams. One of the best books I can imagine buying for any child.

I received my first Laura Ingalls Wilder book when I was nine years old, and went on to receive one each birthday and Christmas until I had the entire series. They transported me to a world few movies, t.v. shows (including the series!) ever went to...and I am still fasinated with this woman's life. I recommend it for all children and soon will start reading it to my three grandchildren, so their hearts and minds can come alive in a time and world they can only visit thru these wonderfull images of the author. This entire series is only rivaled by Louisa May Alcott...and these are easier for a child to read. Please enjoy the wanderings and hopes and dreams of the Ingalls as they moved thru the midwest...it's worth every moment you spend. The illustrations are so perfect...not glamorizing how Laura or the family looked... in a time before makeup and curling irons, when barefoot along the banks of plum creek was the best! ENJOY
