Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Best loved books Comment: I loved these books as a child and am now passing them on to my daughter and nieces. Even today I enjoy sitting with my daughter and reading the adventures in the Little House series. Customer Rating: Summary: Heirloom Bookset Comment: I bought this boxed set of Little House books for my wife's birthday. She absolutely LOVES them! She said that it was the best gift she had ever gotten. We are both rabid fans of the television show and the books are even better. We will be passing this set down to the next generation when the time comes. Customer Rating: Summary: More than happy Comment: Excellent value. Superior Illustrations. Well constructed books. Over ALL an excellent value. Customer Rating: Summary: A fabulous family reading experience. Comment: I read some of these books as a child and bought the set for my own daughter and started reading it to her, and my son, when she was five and he was four. Both children loved them! I'd like to say they loved them all, but the truth is, they really loved the first two books, when Laura was closer to their own age; enjoyed Farmer Boy; and from there, my daughter continued to enjoy the books, but not as much, and my son lost interest. I thought the long descriptions of how to roast a pig or build a log cabin would be too much for them, but they didn't mind. Soon after we started, I heard them re-creating scenes from the book while playing the back yard. Suddenly, my son was talking about Pa having a "gum" (gun) for killing bad animals. Not exactly the effect I intended, but it didn't turn him into a gun nut. I will say, the Long Winter was really, really long. We almost dropped the series. My own interest flagged, and we ended up taking a bit of a break before picking up the book again. I was so into the series that I went to the library and checked out Laura's diary about moving to Missouri (On the Way Home, The Diary of a Trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894) and her and her description of visiting Rose in San Francisco (West from Home: Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder). My daughter said she was interested in those, too, but she really wasn't. Still, we loved the Little House series - and my daughter still listens to the early books on CD. Highly, highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Fun Books Comment: I purchased these books for my eight year old daughter. We read all of them already. She loved them, and so did I. I was a little disappointed that there were no pictures at all. In the older version, there were some very beautiful pictures that helped bring understanding to some of the concepts of being a pioneer. Overall, this was a great purchase.
