Pros: Good way to see how the pioneers survived hardship, makes me grateful for what I have
Cons: Reading about six months in the same room gets a little monotonous
I have been a huge fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books since about third grade. I've read the nine books about Laura's life so many times I can answer all the questions in the "Little House Trivia Book" with hardly a moment's hesitation.

Pros: amazing story of survival - and it's true, too!
Cons: makes you cold and hungry

Pros: Great survival story!
Cons: Will make you scared and hungry...
Every time I read "The Long Winter" I get so hungry that I am compelled to go into the kitchen and make myself a snack. Laura Ingalls Wilder was very good at describing frontier food, so good that I once checked "The Little House...

Pros: It's LITTLE HOUSE. Well-written, readers will take away good things.
Cons: Slow--but for good reasons and to good effect!
Before "Survivor," "1900 House," and the current PBS "Frontier House," there was THE LONG WINTER; before that, the actual long winter of 1880-81 on the Dakota Territory--6 months long. (Yes, thankfully: 6 months, not 7, to go along with the Indian's...
