This series by Laura Ingalls Wilder has earned a wonderful reputation among children and their parents over the past hundred years. In simple language (which is accessible to young children) she masterfully tells of her childhood adventures across the midwest during the age of westward expansion.

For children growing up in a modern, technological world, this is a refreshing picture of a simple, humble life - in which the children shared a tin cup from which to drink until their first Christmas in Kansas when they each received their own!
