I bought this book for my 1st grade daughter, hoping she would love the Laura Ingalls Wilder tradition as I had as a child. She did and I was excited because she could read this book herself and she was empowered! I only wish that you could buy the other 13 titles of the "first books" in a collection or gift set like you can the original series.
I ordered the whole series for my soon to be 4 year old for Christmas. She is absolutely delighted with the stories. The illustrations are beautiful. A must have for younger children.
The Series "My First Little House Books" is a great tool for Special Education adaptations of the Core Literature "Little House in the Big Woods". I've used this series in general education classrooms, too, to supplement the Core Lit text. The children's positive responses to the beautiful illustrations made my day! The beautifully portrayed color illustrations capture essential details from the book chapters and make the stories come alive for all of the students. Two thumbs up for this series!
I was skeptical about these Little House Illustrated books. I thought they might not be as good as the originals. I think the pictures are wonderfully done and although they don't have much of a storyline I think they tie in with the original books and give you a little something extra so you feel like the story keeps going even after you have stopped reading it. The original books don't have many pictures so these are nice for younger readers.
We have a few of the books in this series and I recommend them for all little girls of all ages. I have been reading the regular little house books to both of my girls, which have captured their interest even though there aren't pictures and they are 5 and 2 years old. But then I came across these and this gives them a chance to reread the stories and with beautiful illustrations over and over again. (My 2 year old gets more out of these than the regular series of course) But as my 5 year old is learning to read now, she will soon be able to sit down and read these herself. These books are such a nice change from so many other books out there today for little girls. (I'd rather my girls be into this stuff than skanky Bratz and things like that!) They like to read and look at these over and over again. And again I must say, the illustrations are beautiful and my girls are fascinated by them.
I bought these books for my younger daughter while her older sister read the chapter books. This way she felt as she was reading along in the same story with her big sister. My daughters love Little House on the Prairie.
These "first" books are absolutely wonderful! The illustrations are very nice and so eye catching for non readers. I LOVED them, am so glad I found them now I won't have to wait until my 2 year old granddaughter is older to share with her the wonderfully sweet stories of Laura and History back in pioneer days! LOVED THIS BOOK...This book tells how they traveled in the middle of the Prairie where there wasn't nothing to see for a long time. Pa goes and gets logs and he and Ma start building their house. one day Pa finds a neighbor and he is Mr Edwards. Mr Edwards and Pa finish their house and make new friends!
This is among the best in the My Fist Little House series. It has the atmosphere down. My 3-year-old loves it. It includes enough of the technical house building to get the basic idea and enough of the story to get it. Might not be great, if you don't have any of the previous ones. You could start with "Prairie Day" and go to this one and get by without the previous ones but this alone would not work as well.
