Title: zzzzzzz....
Review: I hated this book when I was little, and having re-read it as an adult, I hate it even more. While it is a children's book, I think that Wilder's painfully simple prose would put any fourth grader to sleep. Reading the unendingly dull chapters about Pa building the house, the door, the fireplace and the well made me want to burn the log cabin down. And I still can't believe that Ma ironed on the wagon in the middle of the prairie. (wtf?) If you want to read a true children's classic I recommend The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Winnie-the-Pooh, The Secret Garden or Charlotte's Web. I only recommend reading Wilder's books to your children when they can't fall asleep.
