I suggest it as a read-aloud for girls and boys who are 4 years old and older. It is a relatable story for little kids, even though it took place so long ago.
My Thoughts: There is a reason this book has endured. There is also lots of references to hunting and processing the meat for food.Īlso, this was a time when the appropriate punishment for kids’ poor choices was a solid spanking.
For example, there is a long chapter about butchering the pig. (That time was the early 1870s, in case you were wondering.) Because of this, there are some things in the book that your kids might not be familiar with. Special Considerations: There’s no denying that this book was set in a different time. Picture Frequency: 5 pictures per chapter (Honestly, though, the video review is much more comprehensive, and it’s only a few minutes long.) If you don’t watch the video, make sure to scroll down to read the Special Considerations section so that you aren’t blindsided by something in the book that might be a touchy subject for some people. You can scroll past the video for just the bare book details. The bindings are all broken in, except for The First Four Years, which I didn’t read as many times.īecause I loved these books so much and have had them for so long, I was very excited when my son was old enough to listen to me read them aloud! He called it, “the Laura book,” and I hope he enjoys all of the other “Laura books” as he gets older.Ĭheck out the video review below to find out what I liked and didn’t like about the book, what ages it would be good for, and anything questionable that you need to know about before picking this series up. The Long Winter is warped from shower steam after being forgotten in the bathroom for a few days. They are dogeared, especially Little Town on the Prairie. They have sat faithfully on my shelves in Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Michigan. They have been lugged in boxes through a bunch of moves. I have my original Little House books that I got when I was 7 years old. – opening line of Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on Email Once upon a time, sixty years ago, a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs.
