Little House in the Big Woods

by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Lexile: 930
Topics: pioneer life, family

My son first started this book at age 4, but couldn't continue reading it. He was frightened by the idea of the wolf at the door, and it took some processing for him to realize that there were no wolves near our home in the city! We put it away for a few months and he completed it before he turned 5, with no further concerns on his part. But this is a classic, beautiful book about family, love, hard work, and the intricacies of pioneer life. The whole series (through Little Town on the Prairie, when the books become increasingly relationship-oriented) have been well-read in our house.
