The
Little House
by Virginia Lee Burton
Hardcover from Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
ISBN: 0395181569
The little house first stood
in the country, but gradually the city moved closer and closer."Once upon
a time there was a Little House way out in the country. She was a pretty
Little House and she was strong and well built." So begins Virginia Lee
Burton's classic The Little House, winner of the prestigious Caldecott
Medal in 1943. The rosy-pink Little House, on a hill surrounded by apple
trees, watches the days go, by from the first apple blossoms in the spring
through the winter snows. Always faintly aware of the city's distant lights,
she starts to notice the city encroaching on her bucolic existence. First
a road appears, which brings horseless carriages and then trucks and steamrollers.
Before long, more roads, bigger homes, apartment buildings, stores, and
garages surround the Little House. Her family moves out and she finds herself
alone in the middle of the city, where the artificial lights are so bright
that the Little House can no longer see the sun or the moon. She often
dreams of "the field of daisies and the apple trees dancing in the moonlight."
Children will be saddened to see the lonely, claustrophobic, dilapidated
house, but when a woman recognizes her and whisks her back to the country
where she belongs, they will rejoice. Young readers are more likely to
be drawn in by the whimsical, detailed drawings and the happy ending than
by anything Burton might have been implying about the troubling effects
of urbanization. (Ages 3 to 6) |

The
Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie
by Wendy McClure
Hardcover from Riverhead Hardcover
ISBN: 1594487804
For anyone who has ever wanted to step into the world of a favorite
book, here is a pioneer pilgrimage, a tribute to Laura Ingalls Wilder,
and a hilarious account of butter-churning obsession.
Wendy McClure is on a quest to find the world of beloved Little
House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder-a fantastic realm
of fiction, history, and places she's never been to, yet somehow knows
by heart. She retraces the pioneer journey of the Ingalls family- looking
for the Big Woods among the medium trees in Wisconsin, wading in Plum Creek,
and enduring a prairie hailstorm in South Dakota. She immerses herself
in all things Little House, and explores the story from fact to
fiction, and from the TV shows to the annual summer pageants in Laura's
hometowns. Whether she's churning butter in her apartment or sitting in
a replica log cabin, McClure is always in pursuit of "the Laura experience."
Along the way she comes to understand how Wilder's life and work have shaped
our ideas about girlhood and the American West.
The Wilder Life is a loving, irreverent, spirited tribute to
a series of books that have inspired generations of American women. It
is also an incredibly funny first-person account of obsessive reading,
and a story about what happens when we reconnect with our childhood touchstones-and
find that our old love has only deepened. |
