Designed primarily for early readers, My First Little House books are adaptations of the original Little House series. They feature simpler storylines and events from the books, formatted like a picture book. Each page contains a few lines of text for beginning readers, and the rest of the page is softly and beautifully illustrated based on the style of Garth Williams. These simplified books have done an excellent job staying in line with the original books as much as possible. For young children that "want to read it themselves" and enjoy looking at the pictures, this is a great easy reader alternative or introduction to Little House.
