Going West Paperback – 26 September 1997

Easy to read for beginners

I am currently reading the original Little House on the Praire to my son and he was so excited to discover that there were versions of the story he could read himself! Going West is based on the first chapter of Little House on the Prairie (each of the "my first" books is based on a specific chapter from either Little House on the Prairie, Little House in the Big Woods or Farmer Boy). My son was delighted to recognize details from the original story in "his" version. The events, and sometimes the exact text itself, come directly from the bigger books. These books made good easy readers for my son because the story was familiar and the illustrations provide many details. They were perfect for my son who isn't quite ready for chapter books, but wants to read an interesting story. Now he wants to collect the whole set!!!

Great book collection for younger kids to be introduced to little house on the prairie characters. Gorgeous illustrations

A great introduction to Little House on the Prairie books.

I absolutely love the Little House series, and am eager to someday share them with my children. I was so excited when I discovered these little beginner versions, and am even more thrilled that my daughter absolutely loves them. Working on buying them all up now!
