  1. This is AMAZING! Summer reading lists for sure. I will visit my local library and read these all. 🙂 Can’t have me enough of Little House on the Prairie!

  2. My niece, who is two, likes the My First Little House series. Her favorite is “Winter on the Farm.” She likes to look at each picture and pick out Almanzo (who she calls Manzo.)

  3. Nice lists but it would help to at least add the author’s name after each biography title and the secondary books not written by LIW (Spoken as a retired librarian!). Thanks!
