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!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
