A Little House Christmas by Laura Ingalls Wilder Review

 Hello Friends :)

I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

It's officially December 1st and honestly that seems kind of hard to believe. I feel this last year has gone by so fast, and it's crazy that another Christmas season is almost once again upon us.

I'm looking forward to reading and reviewing some new Christmas books this month, and look forward to sharing them all with you guys.

It's been quite awhile since I last shared a children's fiction book review on my blog, and today seemed like the perfect day to change that.

I recently had the chance to reread an old childhood favorite, and today I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys all about it.


A Little House Christmas: Holiday Stories From the Little House Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Illustrated by Garth Williams:



Source: Borrowed from a Family Member

Publisher: HarperCollins

Publication Date: October 5th, 1995

Genre: Children's Fiction

Series: Little House


Synopsis:

In her beloved Little House books, Laura Ingalls Wilder describes some of the Christmases she and her family celebrate on the frontier. Even if they don't have much money for presents, they always have one another, and that's enough to make any Christmas merry. This lavish gift book gathers together five of Laura's classic Christmas stories from Little House in the Big Woods, Little Houes on the Prairie, and On the Banks of Plum Creek, and is illustrated with gently colorized versions of Garth Williams' original art. Bring these stories home with you as part of your own Christmas celebration!

My Review:

I remember loving this book many years ago, and I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to reread it. This beautifully illustrated bind up of the Christmas stories included in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books speaks of simpler times, when children were ecstatic to receive mittens and candy for their Christmas gifts. Each story is precious and heart warming, and it would honestly be hard to pick a favorite. It reminds us all to be thankful, and to remember that material things are not the most important things to be focusing on at Christmas.

Each of these stories is a well loved tale from the original series, perfectly bound together in this beautiful holiday collection that will leave each and every reader with a case of the warm fuzzies.

Final Rating: 5/5.

I can't possibly recommend it enough!
