A Little House Birthday adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder & illustrated by Doris Ettlinger

I really love this one! I was only able to find and add it to our collection this last Christmas, so it’s not as familiar as some of the others in the series, but I just loved the gentle narrative. It was the first story wherein the small person was really following historical differences then v. now (i.e. everyone taking turns in the washtub on a Saturday night and then the no running and jumping rules on Sundays).

And then the birthday celebration was so sweet! It gave me the same feeling of simplicity and pure enjoyment I had when first reading the other books growing up. :) Happy to recommend it! <3
