Summertime in the Big Woods

AUTHOR: Laura Ingalls Wilder
ILLUSTRATOR: Renee Graef

From the Publisher:

With this illustrated adaptation from the beloved Little House series, the youngest readers can share in the joy of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classics. 

The winter is finally over, and now it is summertime. Laura and Mary are busy all day helping Ma in the garden and playing outside.

Renee Graef’s illustrations are based on Garth Williams’ classic artwork.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This series is such a sweet and simple way to introduce younger kids to the world of Little House. The short text and charming illustrations make it easy to read aloud, even with wiggly listeners. My boys especially liked seeing what summer looked like for kids long ago. Oh so different from their own days, but still full of fun.
