Little House 4-Book Box Set: Little House in the Big Woods, Farmer Boy, Little House on the Prairie, On the Banks of Plum Creek

As a child, my dad read us books from his collection such as Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens. I remember my third grade teacher read the class Little House in the Big Woods. I anticipated every day of going back. I went home after she read the story describing Laura's tree house and asked my dad, "Will you make a swing for me and Linda in the trees?" He said, "Good idea." I have sentimental memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I always wanted to read more of her stories. I could never have children, I put off walking into a bookstore, taking a potential risk of being asked by a cashier, "Do you have a daughter?" I recently went on Amazon to buy books and typed in her name in the search. I sought used paperbacks I am going to put wear on for $2.50 each in a set of four. I'm an artist, so I cried. Not only had I hit the Laura Ingalls Wilder jackpot but the Garth Williams illustrations are beautifully hand-drawn. There's a bit of shelf wear but they came in the condition I expected, well-loved. It was a deal I was satisfied with. Laura Ingalls Wilder's characters are vivid and her stories are relatable. It doesn't matter your age. If you've ever made a tree house, thought deer were too cute to eat, or been bitten by yellow jackets...you'll want more.

Great classic book set in a nice box to keep them for years to come!

Liked because whole early books . Loved Littke House books and thought great gift as part of book for baby shower

Really fun read! My 6 year old daughter & I just completed the first book of this series. It's a wonderful way of learning about life in America during the Frontier. My daughter had so many great questions & learned so much. She dressed herself up as if she was in this time period. She joined 3 of her friends for book club. We brought the snow candy/maple syrup & our version of hasty pudding (farina) & one of her friends showed everyone how to make a rag doll. They also made butter by shaking whipped cream in a jar. They did this while jumping on a trampoline. So we were able to compare modern day to the frontier times just based on that experience. They spread the butter on the jack cakes another friend made & gobbled it down with delight. We look forward to reading the next book, Farmer Book & seeing what creations will come out of that! Enjoy!!!

I bought these for a Christmas gift for my 8 yr old granddaughter. She loved them. Would definitely recommend these books. They were age appropriate. I liked that the set comes in it’s own box too.

The books arrived in great shape and in a very timely manner! :-) I bought them for my granddaughter's 8th birthday.

This books will scare young child who pays attention to every detail. 1 chapter describes slaughtering of animals in details. It's a horror book for young child.Some reviews mentioned reading this book ro 5 and 6 y.o. NO!Their young and very imaginative minds are not ready for these bloody scenes!

I loved the descriptions of scenes and common everyday things. It is easy to form a mental picture as the writer is so detailed. I liked that it took me away from the pressure and anxiety of modern times as I read. The only thing I didn't like is coming to the end of all the Little House books! Oh that there could have been several more!

This is one of the best books for little children.If your kids have finished the Enid ablution collection they can go for these.

Great classics

My 9 year old daughter is enjoying reading this set of books. She is an able reader, and it is nice to find stories that have gentle, educational themes rather than her moving on to teenager's fiction too soon.

Nothing to dislike. Boxes are awesome. Just like original when I was little. Great gift set.

Very enjoyable - reading with my six year old
