My First Little House Book

This picture book adaption of the Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods tells the story of the Ingalls' adventures in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. The story depicts only a few scenes from that chapter book but is engaging nonetheless.

REVIEW
I love this series of books because it introduces an even younger age group to my all time favorite author/book series Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie. The stories are simpler than the chapter books but equally engaging.

This story depicts some scenes taken from Mrs. Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods book. My boys enjoy reading about the simple and sweet activities Laura and Mary find to keep them occupied on those long, snowbound days. This story has encouraged us to find simple but fun activities on those cold, indoor days. Activities that promote imaginations and family time rather than independent, electronic distractions!

The My First Little House book stories are short enough to introduce even the youngest readers to a most beloved classic series as well as entertain the reader with a story about days gone by.

The illustrations in these books are warm and colorful and while not done by Garth Williams they are reminiscent of his signature illustrations in the chapter books.

My boys have enjoyed reading these My First Little House books over and over -- first by me then independently! They were a great introduction into the longer chapter books. Like many picture books they are appropriate for very young children (2 years +) but entertaining for children of all ages because of their pretty pictures and sweet stories.
