Book Reviews of Little House on the Prairie (Little House)
Book Review: Do Not Neglect This Familiar Title
Summary: 5 Stars
This title is such a familiar part of our culture that it might be easy to assume that you know this story, when you really don't. Forget the TV show and even the mega-abridged picture book spinoffs. This is a great book, both as a piece of literature and as a historical document. First, it is well written (my understanding is that Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter is the real writer here, although the stories and surely much of the writing are Laura's). There is a balance between readability that is suitable for young readers, and mature detail and narrative to hold an adult's attention. The story itself is amazing - really. Nothing against Michael Landon, but Landon couldn't hold Ingalls' jock. If 'Pa' Ingalls did half of what is attributed to him (both in this book and in the other Little House books), the guy was a big league stud. Frankly, it was men like this (and not gunslingers and sub minimum wage cowboys) that made the West and grew the country. Imagine any man leading his wife and three little daughters into unsettled Kansas and squatting in, literally, the middle of nowhere and calling it home. The perils come early and often. Flooded creeks, Indians, fire, disease, wolves, weather, more wolves. And the dude (and Ma and the girls) pulls it all off. Read this, either for yourself or aloud to your kids.Book Review: A Terrific Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Little house on the Prairie is a wonderful book full of exciting adventures and cliff hanging suspense. The only bad part about this book is that you will find your eyes glued to the pages and it is almost torture to put it down. One example of this is when Pa is surrounded by a pack of almost fifty wolfs! But the best part is that it is a true story! If you read this book you will be learning about things that really happened and enjoying yourself at the same time!Book Review: If you havent read this book then you need to

Summary: 5 Stars
fictional adventure
The begining of the story really made me feel like I was really in on all the action.The most thrilling part of the story was when the indian dude went inside their house.Over all the book was very good.
The book was very adventurous.
I did not like the part when the Indian dude thought that he had reserved the right to enter their house,and ate the cornbread.
"Pa"was my favorite character because,he was very daring,and did a lot of scary things.
pgs,132-146
When ma was making cornbread,and then an Indian dude walked inside their house and ate the cornbread that ma had made.He ate the cornbread as if ma had made it for him.
the book is definitly worth reading if you like adventureand or fiction books this bookis for you.
Dose the story go on?
What happens next in the book?
If you like old western books that seem true but are not really true this book is for you.
Book Review: Great book about pioneer life
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder. If you enjoy watching it on T.V, then you will love the book! The book is ten times better and a lot more descriptive that the T.V. shows! This book talks a lot about the Indians who lived on the plains with them, and how life was like back then. I recommend that you read this book.
