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:

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!

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.

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...

First Line Friday: A Sweethaven Romance

Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're all enjoying the last little bit of summer. Are you sad to see summer come to an end, or are you looking forward to fall? I personally love fall and it's my all time favorite season. However, I always find the changing of the seasons a tad bittersweet, although I'm very much looking forward to all the wonderful things fall brings with it. For today's post, I'm excited to be linking up again with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. First Line Friday is a fun, weekly blog meme that simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading.
