Summary: Is Little House losing Laura?
Comment: I enjoyed reading this book. I think it is a sweet book for beginning readers, but definately lacking of the special essence that makes the little house books what they are. The author has taken some of the most memorable stories from Laura's books and gently adapted them for young readers today. The relationship between Laura and her two sisters is highlighted, which I believe is a wonderful thing for children today to be exposed to.The stories are still there, I won't deny that. However, I feel that as 'new versions' of the beloved little house books, the stories are being dumbed-down quite successfully! Who says Laura didn't write her books for beginning readers? By the time a child can read they can appreciate Laura's stories. I don't believe it is neccessary to adapt them at all. These new editions are bereft of many interesting coloquialisms of the day, and also Laura's own subtle magic woven into her words, which I am sure makes the plot more accessible, but takes away much of what makes the stories Laura's. I have loved to read of the Ingalls family since the age of six, and I still do, but I know that the reason I read them is not only for their adventures, but because of the Laura in every sentence. Please don't let's take Laura from Little House!

Summary: Nice version of Little House books for younger readers.
Comment: This is a good introduction to the Little House books appropriate for begining chapter book readers. This particular series is for children who are too old for the My First Little House Books, but not quite ready for the orriginals. But in my opionion, there are too many Little House adaptations (My First Little House Books, Little House Board Books, etc.) that are taking the orriginals and chopping them up into little pieces. And this book is rather brief, skipping from one event to another, and using stories from too many different books. But its still a nice story for younger readers.
