Gorgeous book!
I am a 42 year old woman who is in love with all things Little House and Laura Ingalls Wilder. I read this book cover to cover, and while it is certainly appropriate for a young reader, as an adult I also greatly enjoyed it. It is well written and organized with each chapter representing one of the Little House books. It has nice quality glossy pages, colorful pictures, and at 150 pages is a nice length. I highly recommend!

I've always wondered...
Just how little the Little Houses were. For those of us who have researched Mrs. Wilder's biography to find out the bits and pieces that didn't make it into the books, the floorplans of her houses in this books are spectacular. For those, like me, who enjoyed and continue to enjoy her books, the floorplans, recipes and photographs honestly help to put her stories into perspective. It's an entertaining as well as educational book.

間取り図が大変役立つ
この本で一番参考になったのは、ローラやアルマンゾの家の間取り図が、原作通りの家具の配置で入っていることです。 特にとても広いアルマンゾの家や、シルバーレイクに測量技師の家、長い冬の町の家、シルバーレイクの開拓農地小屋など、文章だけではわかりにくかった部分が一気に解決しました。 同様に、シルバー・レイクの開拓農地小屋の家具の配置も即刻解決。あのベッドの配置って、文章だけだと自分のイメージで合ってるのか自信もてないですよね? ファン必携の一冊です。

A delightful collection of words, pictures and memories of a poignant time gone by
This delightful book is a joyful compendium of words, pictures and recipes that enhances the Little House on the Prairie books and brings to life those early pioneering days pushing ever Westwards in America.

Gorgeous companion book
I grew up loving all things little house and this book does a remarkable job of filling in gaps where the books left off and my imagination took over. My favorite feature by far is the careful floor plans reconstructing all of the homes where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived. I always imagined them when reading and having such beautiful illustrations was a special treat!
