“Each day brought something new for the Ingalls family as they worked hard to build their new life on the prairie.”

A Little Prairie House | Laura Ingalls Wilder

This book can be linked to lessons on American history, specifically westward expansion, and can be used to engage students in discussions about family, resilience, and adaptation to new environments.

A Little Prairie House | Laura Ingalls Wilder
Pickpick

This book was published in 1998 and is a historical fiction book that is part of the My First Little House Books series. The story follows the Ingalls family's move to the prairie, where they build a new home and settle into frontier life. The book's illustrations and simple narrative introduce young readers to life on the American frontier.

I‘m nearing the end of my reread of the Little House series.

Much of my enjoyment has been discovering that I somehow seem to empathize with the adults now (and that I can‘t stop questioning the lifestyle choices they were happy to live with). 😆

Itchyfeetreader I am not sure I read all of these in the end but love the revisiting. 7mo
Ruthiella I‘ve only re-read Little House in the Big Woods as an adult, but I definitely noticed and empathize with different things as a grown up! 7mo
Tamra Brings a smile to my face. ☺️ Such comforting memories. 7mo

Aimeesue I did a complete re-read a couple years ago. Farmer Boy is now my favorite, because yeah, there were some shady goings-on, there Pa. I also read a bio at the same time 7mo
AlaMich I had that same edition box set. 7mo
Suet624 Being a grownup on the prairie was not easy! 😂😂 7mo
LeahBergen @Itchyfeetreader I thoroughly enjoyed it! 7mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella It‘s been eye-opening to say the least. 😆 7mo
LeahBergen @Tamra And now you have your own set again! 👏 7mo
LeahBergen @Aimeesue I loved Farmer Boy this time around! My favourite when I was really young was On the Banks of Plum Creek, most likely because it was the first one I read and I was the same age as Laura in the book. I‘m going to read that bio soon, too. 7mo
LeahBergen @AlaMich Lucky you! I got them all individually for birthdays and Christmas. 😆 7mo
LeahBergen @Suet624 Yeah, I definitely wouldn‘t make it as a pioneer girl. 😆 7mo
kspenmoll What fun to reread this series. I adored these books & wrote stories modeled on the family‘s adventures. 7mo
LeahBergen @kspenmoll Did you really?? Early “fan fiction”! 🥰 7mo

I‘ve been shamefully avoiding all book club reads since I got back from my summer travels and reading all the little books I picked up in various Laura Ingalls Wilder museums instead.

This has now lead me to rereading the entire series in order, which I don‘t think I‘ve done since my tween years. 😆😆

Tamra 😍 I loved them as a young girl. My grandmother (teacher from SD) supplied me with the whole set one by one. Great memories! 8mo
jlhammar Fun! I‘m going to have to treat myself to a reread of the series one of these years. I still have my old, well-loved copies (look like yours). Did you read this biography yet? I thought it was excellent 8mo
jlhammar Oh, and I just remembered this novel—really enjoyed it (you might too) 8mo

LeahBergen @Tamra @jlhammar These are indeed my childhood copies and like @Tamra , I received them one by one for birthdays and Christmases. 😆 They are inscribed to me from my Mom, too. 🥰 8mo
LeahBergen @jlhammar I have both of those waiting on my shelves (of course 😆). 8mo
Hooked_on_books It‘s like your own personal LIW phd! 8mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella Good to hear! I should probably get that off the shelves soon. 8mo
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen Those inscribed books are the most precious. ❤️ (edited) 8mo
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads They really are! 8mo
TrishB Oh what a lovely collection ♥️ 8mo
sarahbarnes How was the reread as an adult? I loved those books so much in my youth. 8mo
LeahBergen @TrishB Thanks, Trish! I hope you‘ve been having a lovely summer. 😘 8mo
LeahBergen @sarahbarnes I‘m thoroughly enjoying myself (but Little House on the Prairie is a bit problematic now 😬). 8mo
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads That one is fascinating! 👌 8mo
MaureenMc 😍😍😍Which Wilder museums did you visit? (edited) 8mo
LeahBergen De Smet (Little Town on the Prairie, The Long Winter, etc), Walnut Grove (On the Banks of Plum Creek), Pepin (Little House in the Big Woods), and I whirled through Burr Oak (the place they lived before By the Shores of Silver Lake). My husband and dog were pretty much done. 🤣 @MaureenMc 8mo
Cathythoughts That‘s so lovely 🥰 8mo
MaureenMc @LeahBergen Ooh, that sounds like a great itinerary for my 12 yo and me! 😁 8mo
Suet624 Good call to avoid those pesky book club reads. 7mo
