I first read the Little House books when I was seven and were a main staple on my bookshelf until I was thirteen,reading them (particularly this one) from cover to cover until they had to be thrown away; but I could recite them from heart anyway... In elementary school we practiced in the D.E.A.R. program (Drop Everything And Read) silently reading each morning for 15 minutes. I can remember finishing Little House in the Big Woods during that time period and after reading the copy-write page would start all over again.
Her life as a youngster was educational without even realizing it. (churning butter, making bullets, or the process of a horse powered machine are a few examples)
But the wonderful thing about these stories is the Laura Ingalls is relateable. Despite taking place in the 1860s, I was excited as she was about receiving her rag doll Charlotte as I was upon getting my first American Girl doll for Christmas, she envies her elder sister Mary's golden curls, and plays house under a tree, which was also a favorite past time of mine growing up as was the Little House books. With or without knowing it Laura Ingalls Wilder's childhood became part of my own.
