All about Little House in the Big Woods Audiobook
Little House in the Big Woods Audiobook Free is an autobiographical children’s audiobook written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and published by Harper in 1932 (reviewed in June).
It was Wilder’s first book published and it inaugurated her Little House Audiobook series. It is based on memories of her early childhood in the Big Woods near Pepin, Wisconsin, in the early 1870s.
Based on a 2007 online poll, the U.S. National Education Association named the novel one of its “Teachers’ Top 100 Books for Children”. In 2012, Little House in the Big Woods was ranked number 19 among all-time children’s novels in a survey published by School Library Journal – the first of three Little House books in the Top 100.
Plot Summary
This Audiobook mp3 takes place in 1871 and introduces us to four-year-old Laura, who lives in a log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. She shares the cabin with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their lovable dog, Jack.
Pioneer life isn’t easy for the Ingalls family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But they make the best of every tough situation. They celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do their spring planting, bring in the harvest in the fall, and make their first trip into town. And every night, safe and warm in their little house, the sound of Pa’s fiddle lulls Laura and her sisters into sleep.
Audiobook Review
By: Laura Ingalls Wilder
Narrated by: Cherry Jones
Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins
Little House in the Big Woods Audiobook free download is a wonderful audiobook. I am middle-aged and I loved it. I think kids of any age will love parts of it.
Like a Jean Auel audiobook, a lot of time is spent in explaining how to make cheese, gather honey, cook maple syrup and so on. These explaining parts might get a little dry for the average kid. The book is also full of stories as told by Laura’s dad. These stories are extremely entertaining for kids and adults. As a whole, I believe kids of all ages will like it.
