I like when Laura wasn't afarid when she started rocking Baby Carrie in the rocking chair the chimmeny started to burn.
I hope the children of today will appreciate, enjoy and benefit from this book as much as I did. She was a remarkable woman and there is something very comforting about her words.
I had more in my life than Mary could have dreamed of yet, it was I who envied her. The sheer delight she derived from even a single piece of peppermint candy was something I had never experienced.
I read this book 45 years ago and what has stuck with me all this time was my astonishment in how Laura's sister Mary savored any little pleasure that came her way. We lived within miles of Laura Ingalls Wilder's final home, where she and Almonzo raised Rose and were laid to rest.
I learned a valuable lesson and to this day I pity anyone who takes life's little pleasures for granted as the joy those little girls felt will never be theirs. I have read the entire Little House series several times over the years as have my children.
I believe she began writing at the age of 60 and it is apparent that she still viewed the world with the wonder of a child.
She doesn't enjoy reading and we are preparing for a very long trip. This was bought as a gift that has not been given yet. But, the series is a favorite of a friend of mine, so I thought she would enjoy it. This will help make the trip a little easier for all. I have always enjoyed these books, so listening to them will bring them to life.
I loved this book as a young girl and now I'm reading to my class at school. The new colored pictures are beautiful and the children can't wait to see what will happen next. In a world of technology and instant gratification, the children enjoy reading about the simple yet difficult life of Laura Ingalls.
My daughter enjoyed I reading the book and listening to the CD. It helped her with the comprehensive.
