Fun! Great for our family in the car (kids are 5, 11 & 17) Bought this for long car rides -- so much better than a DVD! My 5, 12 and 17 year old all love it. The reader does a great job. She has a very clear voice and you really get into the story. She's not monotonous but also isn't overly theatrical. We have all really gotten engrossed in this story (which I didn't expect). I enjoy this greatly and enjoy that my kids are into it. My middle son has read the story, so it's great for him to hear it as well :). Favorite Childhood Books! Aaron K. These books were read over and over to me as a child and remain some of my favorite as a parent. I purchased this one for my own kids and they love the pictures throughout the book. The story itself is so well-written and so easy to fall in love with at any age. At 3 & 5 years old my kids love to sit and listen to a chapter or two, in a few years I'm sure they'll enjoy reading them on their own!. A story of life lessons This book provides another look at life in simpler times. It sits well amid the other Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I read this book with a 3rd grader who wanted to know what it was like to live a long time ago in the United States. What we both discussed after reading each chapter often tied to values and families as the book took us through the family stories, tasks, dangers, responsibilities, and care.
