Book Reviews of Little House on the Prairie (Little House)
Book Review: Good Old Fashioned Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
While I did not personally read this book, as I am a small, private, religious school library clerk, I chose this book because of its look, feel, and knowing that it was a great story as told by the original author of the Little House series. This book will uplift the spirit, protect the innocence, and provide real character building lessons for anyone who reads it. The Little House series does all that and more.
The girls in my school who did choose to read this liked it very much and have asked for more books from this series.
Book Review: Refreshing ..
Summary: 5 Stars
Since my boys have given me the Little House on the Prairie book set for Christmas (a gift that I have wanted ever since I was a little girl!) ~~ I have decided to start out the New Year with reading the entire series and travel down memory lane. These are the books that I have renewed time and time again when I was a young girl. Reading them again 30+ years later ~~ I still love them. I definitely appreciate them more now as I am a mother and an adult ~~ and a history lover. But the magic is still there.
This book is when Charles, Laura's pa, decided that The Big Woods was getting crowded with settlers traveling in from the East, so he upped and moved the entire family out west. They lived for a year on the prairie where the wild life was plentiful and everywhere. There were also Indians there too and while they didn't attack the Ingalls, they were restless. But for a year, they lived under a wide blue sky with ever-changing wind. Laura detailed as many details as she could ~~ their bout with malaria (or what they called, fever and agues), their special little gifts from the store in Independence, a town forty miles away, their daily routine and Pa's hard work in building a lovely home for all of them. They battled a wild fire that threatened to burn down their home. They also battled a chimney fire, the threat of an Indian uprising. There are also descriptions of nature so vividly painted that you can feel the wind blowing in their house, or look out the lovely glass windows, or see the moonlight beaming on their beds or hear the wolves howling all night long.
This is such a wonderful book ~~ historical and all. If "Little House in the Big Woods" garnered my interest in reading and in history ~~ this book captured it and kept it vivid all of my life.

Book Review: What a great read! By:AS from North Boulevard School
Summary: 5 Stars
The book I am writing about is "Little House on the Prairie" and it is written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think this book deserves double thumbs up and five stars!! I think it deserves this rating because it is sometimes informational and it is also very fun and enjoyable. It is not depressing that is what is very enjoyable about this story. This book is about a family moving to the prairie and starting a new, meeting new people, and encountering with Indians. The problem that occurs in the story is when the Indians go to war. The problem is solved at the end of the story. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes history that can read long chapter books. This book is only one of the four books in its seriesBook Review: A Five Star Book by C.G. from North Boulevard
Summary: 5 Stars
This book I am reviewing is Little House on the Prairie written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I think this book deserves 5 stars. It's terrific because it was a book with lots of adventure. It is historical fiction. This is about a family, Ma, Pa, Laura, Mary, and Baby Carrie who leave their home in the Big Woods to move towards the west. They soon settle on a prairie and continue to build up their new house. A year has past, but then a problem arises. One of their neighbors tells Pa that soldiers are coming to kick them off their settled land. Indians have been complaining to the government. Read this wonderful book to find out what happens. I'd recommend this book to any 4th or 5th grade student or even to a young child because it can be read to them. This is the 2nd book in the series. This is an awesome book, and I loved reading it! Book Review: Life on the Prarie
Summary: 4 Stars
I would recommend this book to girls in the fifth or sixth grade. I would recommend this book to girls in the fifth or sixth grade because this is mostly a girl book and I think boys would get board during a book. Also, I think fifth or sixth graders would like this book because this is a cute book and it is cool to learn how people lived back then, then compare it to the life we live now. The author put in really descriptive words that could paint a picture in my head and feel like I was in the story. If you read this book, you would want to read the next book because you want to see what happens next. If you don't like one book, you'll probably like the next one because the story is an adventure for you every time and, the book matures as you read more of the series. I would give this book a four (4) star.
