I did start Farmer Boy one summer, but they were so disturbed by the whipping in the first chapter that we put it down and never returned to it.
We've personally read Summertime in the Big Woods, A Little House Birthday, Sugar Snow, Winter on the Farm, A Little Prairie House, Prairie Day, County Fair, Going to Town, and The Deer in the Woods, and they have all been a joy to read together. You get a cohesive story about simple life on the prairie (or farm, or house in the big woods) that will captivate your child and fill you with nostalgia ).
Imagine my delight when I heard they had made a series aimed at younger readers! Daniele shared about Sugar Snow in this post, and we checked it out that very week. No more waiting to share these beloved stories with S, I could introduce her to all of the characters and get her feet wet immediately! She took like wildfire to them at two years old, and we still check them out from the library frequently.īasically, simple portions have been taken from Laura's original books, and artists Renee Graef, Jody Wheeler, and Doris Ettinger (depending on which book you pick up) have drawn up gorgeous accompanying illustrations, modeled upon the original artwork by Garth Williams. They are wholesome and inspiring, certified classics. Reading about Laura's adventures growing up during the early pioneering days of our country captures the heart and imagination.
I haven't met many American girls who didn't grow up loving Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie books.
