Little House on the Prairie

Little House on the Prairie - Thryft
Little House on the Prairie - Thryft

Thrilling pioneer life in the Midwest.

Little House on the Prairie could be a good read for children aged 9-12 who are interested in history and adventure. The book provides an autobiographical account of Laura Ingalls Wilder's pioneering life in the late 1800s, with each chapter presenting unique and captivating experiences of her life in the Midwest. The book's most distinctive feature is its ability to deliver a candid history lesson in an exciting and engaging manner. With beautiful illustrations by Garth Williams that bring the log cabin and woods to life, readers will be transported to a world before modern technology yet full of activity and excitement.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Synopsis:
Although the Little House stories are traditionally seen as "girl" books, boys might be happily surprised if they take another peek at their sisters' shelves. Little House in the Big Woods--the first book of the series and Laura Ingalls Wilder's first children's book--is full of the thrills, chills, and spills typically associated with "boy" books. Any boy or girl who has fantasized about running off to live in the woods will find ample information in these pages to manage a Wisconsin snowstorm, a panther attack, or a wild sled ride with a pig as an uninvited guest. Every chapter divulges fascinatingly intricate, yet easy-to-read, details about pioneer life in the Midwest in the late 1800s, from bear-meat curing to maple-tree sapping to homemade bullet making. Wilder's autobiographical tales ring with truth and excitement. Readers will receive a perfectly painless history lesson, and in fact will clamor for more. Beloved illustrator Garth Williams spent years researching young Laura's pioneering family. His soft-line illustrations bring to life the full, simple days and nights in the family's log cabin. No one can read just one Little House book! (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter Special Edition Large Print Format to read aloud/
