Customer Reviews

Great for younger or beginning readers

I just read this book with my 7 year old and liked it very much. As a beginning reader she is not ready for the longer versions of the Little House books. I read her Little House in the Big Woods and she had a harder time keeping up because of the longer length and more complicated story line. She loved Caroline though and wants to read more of them. Soon she will be able to read them herself and they will be the perfect length. In a couple of years she will be ready for the full-length Little House series, but for now this is perfect.

Great....... An earlier life of Laura

This book is great. Ever since I read ONE of The Laura Ingalls Wilder Series I just can't stop. I have all the books from Laura's great-grandmother to her daughter Rose. They are great books to read!
