81808: Little House on the Prairie Series #1: Little House in the Big Woods, Full-Color Collector"s Edition, Softcover Little House on the Prairie Series #1: Little House in the Big Woods, Full-Color Collector's Edition, Softcover
By Laura Ingalls Wilder / HarperTrophy

For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.

Laura Ingalls's story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Four-year-old 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, since the family 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 folks 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. 238 pages, paperback. Recommended for ages 8 to 12.

This page is full of resources you can use to make
your Little House in the Big Woods Lapbook.  I've
included some custom Little House minibooks that
I've made, along with numerous links to useful
resources on the web.  This lapbook is geared
towards  early elementary children, but if you have
older children you could use the resources as a
starting point on what to include in your lapbook.

44306X: My First Little House Series Pack, 12 Volumes My First Little House Series Pack, 12 Volumes
By Laura Ingalls Wilder / Harpercollins

Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers. Now for the first time, the youngest readers can share her adventures in these very special picture books adapted from Wilder's story books. The pictures and text bring Laura and her family to life.Recommended for ages 3 to 8.
This is the book we used for our lapbook.  My children were 5 and 2 at the time, and enjoyed it
in small sections (which are presented in our files below....about 10 pages at a time.) However
my kids seem to have a lot of patience when it comes to story times, so if you want to use this
lapbook for ages 3-6, check out the "MY First Little House" collections below.  They are geared
towards younger children with full page illustrations and much shorter passages.
