Ellen January 5, 2010 at 1:13 pm: We’re just now reading On the Banks of Plum Creek – my younger boys are studying the pioneer/western times now. I love Little House books!
Jennifer Maynard January 5, 2010 at 1:22 pm: I can’t wait to start reading these with my daughter. She is only 4 right now, so I am trying to figure out when is a good time to start them.
Chris January 5, 2010 at 2:01 pm: If you like this adaption by the Hallmark Playhouse, you might also like the recordings from the Mercury Theatre on the Air or the Campbell Playhouse (which are also free):

Courtney January 5, 2010 at 2:02 pm: We love the Little house books, too. Farmer Boy is our favorite – my boys especially enjoyed that one.
Cindy January 5, 2010 at 2:16 pm: I have read the Little House books so many times that I think I can quote them. Dd is very excited to be able to listen to this in radio drama format. She has also read the books a few times. I think “The Long Winter” is my favorite of the whole series. I love their perseverance. Thank you for putting this link up!
Stephanie January 5, 2010 at 2:18 pm: They had two other radio shows available. I’m cold just thinking about them.
Rachel S January 5, 2010 at 2:43 pm: OH YAY! We are currently reading By the Shores of Silver Lake (my girls are 6 1/2 and 5) and we thoroughly love these books… This will be a sweet treat for them!

Thanks!
Noah Heutchy January 5, 2010 at 3:19 pm: We started reading these with my son when he was 4 1/2. Taking a break right now to read Charlotte’s Web, but will be back to them in a month or so. Thanks for the download info!
Carrie January 5, 2010 at 3:41 pm: I read the Little House books with Nutmeg, now in kindergarten, but I stopped before the Long Winter. I thought it was too sad for her until she is older. Maybe I should download for her for the future though.
Katie January 5, 2010 at 5:36 pm: I have been wanting to get the audiobooks on Amazon for awhile. What timing God has…. This will be a good start to our collection.
Rena January 5, 2010 at 6:10 pm: I received the Little House books for Christmas when I was in the third grade and have read them numerous times in the 20+ years since. The Long Winter is a great wintertime read. It makes you feel warm (that you are in a nice snug house) and freezing all at the same time.
Lucky January 5, 2010 at 7:00 pm: Thanks! This is great!
Merrilee January 5, 2010 at 9:50 pm: We’re currently reading The Long Winter…again! Last time I read it a couple of years ago during summer and I got all confused about what season we were heading into. So this time we purposefully are reading it in winter, and yes, feeling quite blessed for…every little thing.
