This is an excellent story that can be used in grades one through three for lessons on neighborhood, community and social studies. The Little House is a classic in children's literature, the story is beautifully told and has luminous illustrations. It was a Caldecott Winner. It has been and remains among my favorites. I use it year after year in the classroom, it never looses its relevance. The story of a house withstanding urban sprawl was recently played out in real time in Seattle (Oct/Nov '08). This is also a story about growth, change, and loyalty. Enjoy this book!
