1) Paperback Book Little House on the Prairie by HarperCollins. [[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. That part of me still loves to play with dogs and run with the little rabbits and scan the sky for the big hawks and run barefoot in the long prairie grass. That part of me wants to string beads and look at the stars and listen to my dad fiddle in the moonlight. And that part of me knows that my Mother and Father will protect me and teach me all the wisdom I´ll need to know. Of course, that part of me didn´t live on the prairie and never really saw a covered wagon, or a prairie dog, or ran with rabbits or even ran through the prairie grasses. But I was able to do all of those things almost for real, all because of Laura and her books. And the most amazing part of all is that when I reread this book as an adult I found I was just as moved and taken with her writing as I had been at ten.
As a positive psychologist and author of my own book for girls, The Truth, (I´m a girl, I´m smart and I know everything)I realze that this book has a purity and a depth that few books today can equal. I´m so glad that Little House on the Prairie is around for the girls of today. If you are a mother of a girl, make sure she reads this book and the whole series. If you haven´t read this book-read it now, no matter what your age. And if you have read it, re-read it as I did. Let that pure part of your heart from childhood come alive again. You´ll be thankful as I was that there is still a way back to parts of ourselves that see and feel with an innocent wisdom so many things!¤

3) Paperback Book Little House on the Prairie by HarperCollins. Cherry Jones´ reading of Little House on the Prairie is lively, spirited, clear and articulate all at the same time. The best is when she sings along to Woodiel´s fiddle. I was initially worried that the songs would sound ridiculous, but I was pleasantly surprised by how natural Jones´ singing was, and how smoothly the fiddle entered the narration. I highly recommend this recording for any fan, or new reader who wants to hear a warm-hearted, relaxing bedtime story. For example, I listen to audiobooks when I´m experiencing particularly bad insomnia, which is NOT to say the books bore me to sleep; instead, I´m soothed to sleep.

Little House on the Prairie was my least favorite of the series, but listening to Jones breathed new life into this story for me. Even the long descriptions I used to find somewhat tedious, of how the house is built, well dug, etc., were suddenly fascinating. Hearing this work makes it somehow realer; you can´t just pass over it the way you can in a book. It reminds me that Wilder grew up in a more oral tradition, and this recording proves how effective and how different orality is. Jones puts so much into her delivery that Wilder´s crisp imagery really helps you visualize that labor and love Pa and Ma Ingalls put into their survival. Laura´s spritely personality is also perfectly captured. Highly recommend!

4) Paperback Book Little House on the Prairie by HarperCollins. This story shows a lot about the American Frontier and the settlers who moved out there. It is also not cloaked in American sentimentalism and is more realistic than most books are about frontier life. I think it is because the author actually lived the life she wrote about and the book was written in 1935 when others had also lived a similar life on the plains. 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 volumes in the series. It´s wonderful!¤

5) Paperback Book Little House on the Prairie by HarperCollins. 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.¤
