Little Town on the Prairie


by: Laura Ingalls Wilder
illustrated by: Garth Williams
Published by: HarperTrophy
Copyright 1971

Summary: Winter ended and spring arrives with new events for the Wilders.

Strengths: The characters are of a family in which children are a part of. I like how there are some pictures on pages which break up the text and the text itself is big and easily visible. Also, I like how the chapter headings are not in numbers.

Concerns: It is a little too long with not a whole lot of action going on.

Age level: Elementary (3-4), Upper (5-6)
Classroom Use: Children are able to learn what life was like in a different time period with families just like theirs.

  1. Again, the chapter headings are not a significant aspect of the book. It's more important to discuss the theme, characterization and plot.

    p.s., Looks like you got spammed, sorry!
