Horn Book

Stories about Jack the bulldog, other animals, and the Ingalls sisters have been selected from the Little House books and adapted to a beginning chapter-book format. The alterations to the texts mar the beauty of Wilder's prose. Children will be better served by waiting a year or two to read the original novels or by hearing them read aloud. The art is a poor imitation of Garth Williams's work.

Join the original pioneer girl in this Little House chapter book, adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved classics. Illustrated with beautiful new black-and-white artwork, this repackaged edition includes bonus material such as games, activities, and more!

Laura Ingalls and her bulldog, Jack, have been together for as long as she can remember—and he’s no ordinary dog.

Jack travels with Laura and her pioneer family all the way from the Big Woods of Wisconsin to the West. He protects them from wolves, cattle that go astray, and sometimes even a friendly neighbor. And he can always help Laura find her way home.
