Summary
The book that started it all! Little House in the Big Woods is the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House series, which is based on her life growing up as an American pioneer.
Told from four-year-old Laura's point of view, this story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Laura lives in the little house with her pa, her ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep.
And so begins Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers and listeners as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier history and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.
Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts.

nice story shame about the reader's voice
love the story, remember my mum reading this to us as kids. I really struggled with the reader, she had a rather irritating drawly voice that took some getting used to.

wonderful
Re visited at age 54 yrs and as good as it was at 8 yrs. I appreciated it more knowing as an adult that it isn't a work of fiction but a genuine story of growing up in a time that is long gone.Captivating.Cherry Jones was a perfect narrator and the fiddle playing is a wonderful touch.

I love this series!
I can't explain how much I adore these books, the tv show and now the audiobooks. Such a lovely job done by the narrator, I honestly can't fault it. An audio book that everyone should listen to from age 1 to 99!!

Little House In The Big Woods Review
I liked the songs that were played on the fiddle.
I would recommend this calming audiobook to my dad because he is nearly always a bit angry.
I think it’s very calming and when I listen to it before bed I always fall asleep with the most wonderful dreams.

Memorable Story with Compelling Narration
This is a great story, which is just as interesting for a seven-year-old to listen to as it is for their grandmother!!
