Little House on the Prairie : I still remember how she described the building of their log cabin. It was fascinating to me that a bunch of regular people could build a house together. I also loved the descriptions of Pa's fiddle playing and the songs they sang.
The Long Winter: I thought the idea of being totally absolutely snowed in was excited and a little scary. I definitely would not have done well back in Laura's time!
On the Banks of Plum Creek: As a little girl, how cool was the idea of living in a home built into the side of a hill? Scary was the idea of going in a pond and getting leeches stuck to you, though. Ewww!
Little House in the Big Woods Christmas: An endearing Christmas story that describes the simple pleasures of Christmas in the pioneer days. My class loved this one when I read it in December.
I loved the Little House on the Prairie series also but my absolute favorite was the Anne of Green Gables series. I still have all my books and hope one day my daughter will love to read them as much as I did:)

Hey Holly! As a redhead I probably should have read all of the Anne of Green Gables books but I think I only read the first one. I think that's a good goal for me! Thanks for stopping by!

It should say being snowed in was "exciting". Ack !
ReplyDeleteI love your blog design! It is so cute! Great work. When I was in elementary school I was a HUGE fan of the Bailey School Kids. I must have read every single one of them at the time. I think I secretly hoped my teacher was a vampire too. :)
