What I like about this book, as well as the whole series, is it chronicles a very simple yet dangerous time in our history. I believe these books are written exactly how Laura Ingalls Wilder viewed her surroundings and lifestyle without flair and exaggeration. We see a very important part of history, the migration of settlers, from the eyes of an innocent child. These books are packed with humor, hardship and a way of life that is foreign to us in this day and age. They are extremely interesting in that they describe, in detail, how meals are prepared, how homes were built (without nails) and how each adversity was met with a determination to stay and prosper. I bought this book to complete the whole Laura Ingalls Wilder collection. I want to read these to my son, when he is old enough to understand, a different way of life that brought both good and bad to this great country. Plus, I want him to know that there WERE people that walked five miles in the snow to get to school :-)Read full review
I found out about this book series from the credits of the television show based on it. Good morals, values and role models. Though for young children, I bought it out of curiosity because I love the show, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great vintage books. Nice holsome books to read to your son or daughter. My children love the Little House On The Praire tv series, so by purchasing these books it gave them something they really enjoy reading. It really gives them an idea how people lived and struggled in the past. It also teaches them just how important family, hard work, and church is. These books instill great family values. I highly recommend these books.
I purchased "Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and I absolutely LOVE this book! It tells the story of growing up in the woods of Wisconsin in the 1800's, and how the family survived without the modern advances that we have today. I bought this book to share with my children so that they can also relive Laura's story of her childhood, and have a greater appreciation for the simple life without technology.
I loved my purchase and I received it very quickly. Excellent service.
