Little House Chapter Book series.
Illustrated by
Doris Ettlinger.
Little House in Brookfield, a spinoff about the childhood of Caroline Ingalls, has been adapted and simplified for younger readers. Caroline helps with chores, celebrates her sixth birthday, and endures a long winter with a scarce supply of food. Although the writing is pedestrian, this short chapter book will have appeal to new readers interested in pioneer days. Black-and-white line drawings accompany the text.
