I read the entire series many times as a kid. I loved these books & so did my daughter. I recommend this series for all kids who need a break from the sci-fi/fantasy/cartoon books that are out there now.

Very enjoyable. We learn about homesteading and how things all went down in the Dakotas in order to gain your own land. It was pretty adventurous. I just love how kind and loving the Ingalls are. You really fall in love with their family life and how selfless they each try to be. Laura is growing up and tries out new things (like riding ponies bareback and driving horses), we get a slight glimpse of how Carrie is now that she is older, and the other changes that occurs to other members in the family. It was really wonderful.
