Individual reviews were left on each book's page.

REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITIONSo one of my main children’s literature reading projects this year will be to (hopefully) and finally reread and post detailed reviews for Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series (as thus far, I have only managed to do this for the third novel, for Little House on the Prairie). But while my reviews for the individual series novels will of course be posted separately, I am in fact going to be reading each of the Little House novels from this here simp...

I don’t think I’d ever read all 9 Little House books in a row before. I have read all of them on their own and several repeatedly, but it wasn’t a series I re-read in its entirety. The whole series is a roller coaster for me and (to be completely honest) my childhood self preferred the spinoff series to most of the Little House books.I’ve heard it said that the Little House series glorifies the pioneer lifestyle. While I can’t deny that some people read it that way (see The Wilder Life by Wendy ...

Overall, a wonderful classic collection: however, there are some politically-incorrect portions in some of these books.

“I declare, you eat more plums than you pick up,” Mary said. “I don’t either any such a thing,” Laura contradicted. “I pick up every plum I eat.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection


I read every single one as a kid. Every one.

Just thinking about the Little House book gives me a little glow.



Loved them all then, love them now. I want to reread them all.

I read this series when I was in fourth grade...so it was many many years ago. However, the story has not left my mind. I absolutely adored these books, and I'm sure I would love them just as much if I re-read them! I remembered feeling as though I was with Laura's family during every journey they went through. It's a fascinating story - and a true one at that. I'd recommend that everyone reads this series at least once in their life!

I read these as a young girl and loved them. That's about all I remembered about them, though. So I decided to read them again, and I'm so glad I did! Reasons I loved these books:1. They are clean and wholesome.2. They teach responsibility and hard work.3. They teach about gratitude and being happy with what you have instead of looking elsewhere for happiness.4. FAMILY is emphasized and taught to be an important part of society. Laura's family is warm, loving, and kind.5. After reading about all...

Like so many people, I read and loved these books as a girl. When my son was an infant and I was looking for something to entertain me during his marathon bouts of nursing, I decided to read the series again. I still found it immensely enjoyable, but with one striking difference: When I was a child, Pa Ingalls seemed like the coolest dad on the planet - he played the fiddle, made his own bullets and took his family on all sorts of adventures all over the unsettled west. As an adult, however, I t...

OK, so I'm a little generous with the whole Little House series. Sue me. But for me, as a child, they WERE "amazing," and here's why.When I was in first grade in a tiny, tiny town in Arkansas, and hating school with the heat of a thousand suns, each member of the class was given identical packages at Christmas time. They were books. I'd been reading for a long time already, so loved a new book...but disappointment set in as my classmates who got their books first opened them before I had a chanc...

Okay, I'll admit it. I still re-read these. I just finished a ramble though the pioneer prairies with Laura and enjoyed it throughly. I know there is an outcry about the treatment and representation of Native Americans in these books, not to mention women, African Americans, and children. But let's calm our politically correct minds for a moment and think about the treasure of literature these books are. Specifically, they are WONDERFUL for educating young people about how people of color, minor...
