Product Description

Even the youngest child can enjoy a special adaptation of a classic Little House tale, as Laura and Mary listen to Pa talk about meeting a mother deer and her baby fawn deep in the Big Woods of Wisconsin.

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 I wish there were more like this!!, February 5, 2001

By A Customer

My 3 year old daughter loves her "Laura Books" and can't wait till night so she can hear another. I fell in love with the novels when I was a little girl and am so happy that I can share the stories with my little girl. The stories are easy to read. I have almost every one and plan on getting all of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful way to start reading Little House Books, May 25, 2000

By A Customer

I've been a fan of Little House books since I was in second grade. With this series made for young readers, I can start reading my favorite books to my niece before she is even in school. This book in particular was a very endearing story about a mama deer and her baby. Madelyn loved it! I thought the illustrations would make Garth Williams proud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures and Tale, October 18, 2007

By	T. Leach "Jr." (Mid-West) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These are great little books (there are several in the series). These are adaptations of the Little House books, formatted as picture books with full color illutrations that are inspired by Garth Williams original Little House artwork. The Deer in the Wood is an abbreviated excerpt from the Ingalls Wilder novel Little House in the Big Wood. The quiet pictures and straitforward text present the incident of Pa Ingalls going on an overnight hunt, only to come back "empty handed" because he could not kill the wondrous and gentle deer that he encountered. The story was great in the original book, and the essential elements are presented here with perfectly matched illustrations. One of those books that you hope your kids will choose for you to read at bedtime.
