I love how the Little House stories have been adapted to picture book format to share with beginning readers. The full-color illustrations on each page are gorgeous and bring the Little House world to life. The illustrations are reminiscent of the original artwork; they gave me nostalgia for my childhood days when I first discovered the Little House books. This treasury features six short stories that may also be purchased as separate entities.

For Laura Ingalls, Christmas means good things to eat, visits from friends, and special gifts to give and receive. As Laura grows up, every Christmas is better than the one before.
Join the original pioneer girl in this Little House chapter book, adapted for younger readers from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved classics. Illustrated with beautiful new black-and-white artwork, this repackaged edition includes bonus material such as games, activities, and more!
I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Christmas Stories features nine Christmas stories along with some fun Christmas-themed activities and an author introduction in the back of the book. It’s been a while since I’ve read the original Little House books, but the reading level for this book felt similar to the original books. The only difference is that this book is smaller since it only includes select stories. This makes it more accessible to younger readers who would feel daunted by a larger chapter book.
That said, this book would make a great introduction for young readers to the Little House world. I’ll be saving this one to enjoy with young readers during the Christmas holidays!
FINAL THOUGHTS
I loved reading the Little House books growing up. I’ll be saving these books to enjoy with young readers, especially when the next holiday season rolls around.
