The little house first stood in the country, but gradually the city moved closer and closer... In 1942, Virginia Lee Burton created The Little House , and since then generations of readers have been enchanted by the story of this happy home and her journey from the pleasures of nature to the bustling city, and back again. Review: NEW OR OLD, A CLASSIC GEM - When I was a little girl, my mother often took us to the public library to let us check out our own books. One of my absolute favorites was "The Little House" by Virginia Lee Burton. What a thrill it was to find it again nearly 50 years later -- and to discover the magic was still there! As its title implies, "The Little House" is the story of a house in the middle of the countryside. For many years, the house stayed content in the same spot, watching the seasons go by -- until development comes along, turning the country roads into streets, the farmhouses into tract housing, tract housing into apartments and apartments into high rises -- leaving the little house dwarfed and neglected amidst the tall buildings, traffic and hustle-bustle of the city. Without giving away the rest of the story, there is a happy ending for the little house! Equally charming as the story are the illustrations, also done by Virginia Lee Burton. It shows the house in basically the same spot throughout most of the book as the world changes around her. She even gives the house some character using the windows as her "eyes" and the two front steps as her "mouth" -- and you feel sorry for her as she becomes more and more forgotten. Even though the story was written 70 years ago, it is still just as relevant today as it was then -- especially as more and more of our open spaces are being taken over by development. (Maybe that's why I still feel a little sad whenever I see new housing in previously unspoiled land.) And "The Little House" was also where I first learned about the changing of the seasons! Along with this edition of the book is an audio CD of the story, both with and without page-turn signals, as well as a forward by Burton's son! I highly recommend this timeless tale! Review: Timeless heart felt story - When I was a child in the early 90's, I found this book for the first time at my grandma's house. I loved it then, and it left an impression with me. Now that I have 5 small children of my own, I felt that we should have this in their book collection. It's a sweet little story about how things change, and this little house stays put as the big city takes over the landscape in the background, then over the decades you get to see the city envelope the little house. Pretty soon the little house is surrounded by sky scrapers and elevated trains. Then, at the end, someone buys the house and moves it back out into the country. It's a sweet little book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,585,401 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,325 in Children's Books on Seasons #10,071 in Children's Classics #65,837 in Children's Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 325 Reviews | ## Images ![The Little House: A Caldecott Award Winner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819OymW4mbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NEW OR OLD, A CLASSIC GEM *by C***G on December 30, 2013* When I was a little girl, my mother often took us to the public library to let us check out our own books.
