 Rating:  - Rereading this touched my heart as if I were ten again![[ASIN:0979895200 The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything]Yes, re-reading Little House on The Prairie, really did touch my heart. In fact the book touched my ten-year old heart that I guess still exists somewhere inside of me. That heart is purer and more senstive than the heart I walk around with most of the time.

It's taken me a long time to finally read this book, I never read the series as a kid but I'm amazed at how good it is and plan to read other ... Read More Rating: - A wonderfully told classic!Charming, engaging, and wonderfully told, the story about Laura and her family's life on the frontier is a great read for preteen readers and adults alike. Very interesting, this is a great book for young readers looking for a good book, or even for adults. A great story about a family that sticks together through very tough times as well as a good look into what life a settler was really like. |
