I have always been a Little House fan, and I wanted to pass on the enjoyment of Laura and her friends to my 5 year old niece. She loves them so much and asks me when she is going to receive another one. It is our special thing because she will only let me read them to her!!
This is wonderful! A Little House Book for even the youngest of readers! The complete books of the series may seem a little long for the little ones, this is great to get them familiar with the series. This book is kid sized, and is very well illustrated, the colors are vibrant, Laura would be proud, it is a very cute book! I will be buying more of these books in the future, the Farmer Boy Books are great for getting little boys interested in the Little House Series. A true Winner!
Everyone should read the books in this little series! The illustrations alone are breathtaking! Not comical, but brilliant coloring and vivid pictures! My children love these! Great lap-sitting books!
We are trying to buy the entire collection of these "My First Little House" books, this was just another one we didn't have. Good clean stories and my five year old granddaughter just loves them all.
This is a children's picture book adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Farmer Boy, a story of her husband Almanzo's childhood years. In this book, his family is going to the county fair. We see Almanzo feeling "big" talking about the horses with his father like a grown man would. We identify with Almanzo's shock when confronted with a braying mule, which was a unique sight to him. And, we identify with his pride over his prize-winning pumpkin. All of these things are emotions and situations that children can understand even if the particulars are somewhat different from their everyday life.The illustrations are gorgeous, very colorful and vibrant. This book provides a nice visual peek into the time period as a wide range of people are depicted in the crowds. The illustrations have an idyllic, homey feel to them.My one disappointment is that the story of Almanzo's prize-winning pumpkin could have been made better by including the full story. Just a few lines saying something like, "Then Almanzo remembered he had cut slits in the vine and fed his pumpkin milk to help it grow bigger. He wondered if the judges would think that was unfair and not give him the prize. But, he timidly asked, 'Is it okay that my pumpkin was milk-fed?' The judge answered, "'Certainly, my son, and it's a fine pumpkin!'" That was such a wonderful lesson in honesty even when afraid on the consequences. It wouldn't have been hard to share, and it would have been beneficial. But, if I hadn't read Farmer Boy, I wouldn't have had any complaints about the book.I would recommend this book for children in the 3-to-8-year-old range, as a read-aloud for younger children and for children reading on a 3rd to 4th grade level to read by themselves. My daughters, ages 7, 5, and 3 1/2, all enjoy this series of books. This title may be more enjoyed by boys than others in the series, most of which focus on Laura and Mary.
The entire series of My First Little House books are great for younger children. I have always loved Little House and could hardly wait to share it with my daughters. With these books I can start reading to them about Little House when they are toddlers. The illustrations are lovely and the text is simple but descriptive. I would recommend any of this series.
I loved the Laura Ingalls Wilder books when I was a kid and now I'm reading them to my grandchildren. I love these illustrated versions. They're perfect for toddlers.
I love these books, they are so wonderful for litte readers and the pictures are so heart-warming for the non-readers. I plan on giving out the whole series.
