Long, long ago, a little boy named Almanzo Wilder lived on a farm in the New York countryside with his father, his mother, his big brother, Royal, and his big sisters, Eliza Jane and Alice. One special day is Almanzo's birthday. He gets to stay home from school, and even better, Father gives him a yoke for his calves, Star and Bright, and a beautiful hand-sled. Almanzo spends the morning learning how to break the calves, and then he spends the afternoon flying down the hill in his brand-new sled.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers. Now for the first time, the youngest readers can share Almanzo's adventures on the farm in these very special picture books adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved storybooks. Jody Wheeler's warm paintings, inspired by Garth Williams' classic Little House illustrations, bring Almanzo and his family lovingly to life.

About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America’s heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year. The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America’s quintessential pioneer story.



Jody Wheeler is the illustrator of over forty books for children, including three picture books about Almanzo Wilder. She lives in New York City.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in the Wisconsin woods in 1867. She wrote the Little House books based on her own experiences growing up on the Western frontier. Just like the characters in her stories, Laura and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest and experienced many of the same adventures. She finally settled down in Mansfield, Missouri with her husband, Almanzo, where she lived until her death in 1957.

We love the My First Little House Books. They have beautiful illustrations, a simple relatable story for kids, and are great for helping kids to understand a little piece of our country's history. I love Laura Ingalls' writing and these books do a great job of simplifying sentences without losing the charm of the author's original work. There are only 3 books in the series with Almanzo's story-- I wish there were a dozen more!

The is the only Little House books for younger readers that is not available in hardback -- but it is well worth paying extra for hardback to complete the set. All of these books are delightful stories with great illustrations. Every kid I've read them to loves them, and these are books YOU will enjoy even after you've read them umpteen times.

This is the My First Little House version of what is my favorite from the LHOTP series, Farmer Boy. This series was the beloved set of my youngest daughter (that she still has) and I'm happy to collect another set for one of the other grand children as it's one everyone has enjoyed. A perfect introduction to the series.

Our four year old Grand Daughter loves this "Little house on the Praire" series which is made for the pre-school years. The Classic Little House books that we purchased for her Mother as a child are the "Grammar School" series for the 'reading' child.
Pictures, story words, and nice heavily coated cardbook book is a wonderful book for the 3-4-5-6 year old child. Highly recommended.
