Rating:  Summary: Laura's Childhood Memories Review: This was written in 1935, and is her story about a long time ago, when the grandparents then were little children, or perhaps not even born. The Ingalls family left their homestead in wooded Wisconsin to travel to the grassy prairies of the new lands out west. Their grandparents, aunt, uncles, and cousins all came to say goodbye; they might never see them again.This book will give you an idea of what it was like to live and travel in the 1870s. Before airplanes, automobiles, even trains; before television, radio, electricity, and indoor plumbing. No maps or roadsigns either. What was it like to cross a creek in those days? What was it like to build your own house? How did people eat without a butcher, baker, or grocery store? Where did they get furniture? They settled on the prairie, far away from the woods. For Christmas, Mary and Laura got their very own tin cups; how happy they were! But then things changed in the spring - they had to move away to a new land again. The illustrations usually show the people without hats or sunbonnets, historically inaccurate.
Rating:  Summary: Little House on the Prairie Review: I think Little House on the Prairie is a really good book. I would reccomend Laura`s books. I like it because it is neat to read about someone else is life and how they lived. My favorite part was when Laura`s father saw a panther in a tree in the dead of night. If you like this book try books about Laura`s mother and daughters lives.
Rating:  Summary: I loved this book Review: I a 6 year old boy and my mom started reading the Little House Books to me when I was 5. She started Farmer Boy and then we read Little House in the Big Woods, etc. In Little House on the Prairie, I liked the part where they found Jack again after he got lost and they thought he was a wolf. I thought it was sad when they had to leave the land. I like the Little House books because they have interesting stories and you can learn about what life was like a long time ago.
Rating:  Summary: Honest Review: This book speaks honestly as a first hand account of life on the prarie during the initial settling of the West. I enjoy that although this is a children's book sentiments like "The only good indian is a dead one." remain true to the time and the feelings expressed. In fact the racist overtones of this book are interesting. Some charactes hate indians, others are scared of them, some feel superior but believe in trying to get along. Indians themselves are painted in a very true light. Some are good people, some openly rob and plan to kill the Ingolls and the other settlers. Very interesting and a fun read.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastic Book Review: There was a little girl named Laura who lived with her older sister named Mary and her little baby sister. Their Pa did a lot for them while they went west on their journey for a home. While they traveled west, Mary and Laura helped Ma with the chores. This was a fantastic book because Pa was a very brave man when he helped put out the prairie fires. Laura was a generous and helpful little girl when her Ma needed her to help put out the prairie fires when Pa was gone. I liked the way all the people on the prairie helped each others' families. Laura's family was kind and thoughtful to help the people on the prairie.
Rating:  Summary: I liked this book because ... Review: I liked this book because it made me feel the heat and cold of the seasons. I also liked the hardships they over come like wolves, indians, and disease. My favorite charecther is Laura because she is stubborn like my sister. I also like Laura because she grew up to write books almost like a diary of her child hood. I would recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: A childhood classic Review: I really enjoyed this as a kid. Wilder invokes beautifully the pioneer past, and it's filled with all sorts of historical details: the building of a cabin, the food they ate, how pioneers would spend Christmas, etc. Most is fascinating, I repeat, MOST, but there are a few scenes that are a bit boring. And I for one never found the sequels in the series nearly as enthralling. This book is justifiably the most famous one. Worth a read.
Rating:  Summary: A review from Shannon! Review: I learned many things reading this book. I learned that there can be prairie fires. I learned that indians can live in the prairies. I learned that nobody knew about malaria. I learned that there are different types of Indians. This book was great. I thought to the beginning and to the end and it made me feel very enthusiastic. If I could change the end of the story they would have a big feast or a party.
Rating:  Summary: The Quintessential Story of the American Pioneering Spirit Review: I can still remember this book after all these years. It was and still is a sweet story, one that must be read by every American. It continues to amaze me how well a simple children's story can capture the lifestyle and the spirit of the late 1800s. It is a tale of nothing less than the human experience: hardship and prosperity alike seen through the innocent eyes of a young girl. Try as you may, you'll never be able to resist the charms of this story. Laura Ingalls Wilder will forever live on in your heart as a bright flame, symbolic of everything good in our country, our world, and our entire existence. It is a must read for all children everywhere. A thousand times more valuable than Star Wars or Pokemon, it is something a kid can love and hold on to for the rest of his or her life.
