Those are great books.
By the way, I figured out the most likely reason why you weren't receiving any comments on this blog, when you clicked to leave a comment the comment box never showed up. That made it hard for people to leave comments. There is just some weird bug in the code somewhere so I "hacked" into your blog and changed the settings to bring up a different way of commenting. This way works so now you can receive comments! :)

Several years ago I ended up with a copy of The Little House from my mom's mother's library. My mom wrote her name and address inside (a 1950 copy of the book). Sadly, it has been overly loved so it is kept on a high shelf. I believe we have a paperback copy that we keep for the kids to read. I love this book, too!
