A Classic - and a Talking Point Elisbet Y. I have read, and re-read, this book from about the age of four or five. I read my entire box set to literal pieces - the only surviving copy I have from my original set is Farmer Boy (bleh). My mother read excerpts to me and my brother when I was younger than that.

I loved them all as a child This is the first in the Little House series, and what I find interesting about it is that it seems to be written from the perspective of a young childher books "grow" with the reads.

"Simply wonderful" according to Janine L. Johnson. I have loved these books since I was a child. I was lucky enough to be able to tour most of the historic sites up north a few years ago and it really brought them to life. I bought this one to contribute to our women's club project; we donate children's books to laundromats located in downtrodden areas to help instill a love of reading in needy kids. These surely fit the bill.
