Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder

There’s a reason some stories never leave us. This one has been passing from hand to hand, generation to generation, for nearly a century.

The adventures continue for Laura Ingalls and her family as they leave their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and set out for Kansas. They travel for many days in their covered wagon until they find the perfect spot to build their little house on the prairie. Soon they’re planting and plowing, hunting wild ducks and turkeys, and gathering grass for their cows.

Pioneer life isn’t always easy. But Laura and her folks are busy and happy in their new home, and there’s a quiet kind of magic in watching them make a life out of open land and hard work.

A beloved Newbery Honor-winning classic, this is one of those books that rewards a slow read. It’s a story about family, courage, and the simple joys that hold us together, told in language so warm and vivid you can practically smell the prairie grass.

Whether you’re revisiting a childhood favorite or introducing a young reader to Laura for the very first time, this is a wonderful one to have on the shelf.

Perfect for:

• Young readers ready for chapter books and big adventures
• Families looking for a treasured read-aloud
• Grown-ups who never quite outgrew the little house

Curl up with this one on a rainy afternoon while the sea air drifts in. Some stories, like the ocean just outside our door, never grow old.
