Customer Reviews

Not version I ordered

I ordered a hardcover and received a soft cover book. Disappointed.

Not the format I buy...

I bought this hardcover book and receive a paperback one, in great shape but not the one I wanted, quite deceiving.

Bad condition

I like the content of the book. What I didn't like was that it had been wet, is warped and has mold in it! I'm disappointed in that this was even considered acceptable, because it really isn't!

Teaches virtues!

I picked this up at a book swap and I'm back here to buy more books in the series. My four year old son loves this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the language is very good for a child's picture book. But what really impressed me was when my son saved half of one of his cookies, like Laura and Mary do in the story, for his dad to enjoy after work. As a parent I place a high value on any book that encourages my children to grow in virtue.

We love these books!

We love the My First Little House Books. My daughters are 4 and 2. We read them all of the time.

Excellent choice for pre-readers

My daughters love the colorful, cheerful pictures. This series captures the charm of Prairie Life without being too complicated for little ones to follow. - It's a great intro to the original series!

Wonderful books

If you like Little House on the Prairie you will really like this series. The books are simply written with a wholesome story about how life was a long time ago. The illustrator is magnificent. The pictures are colorful and have nice detail.
