Little House on the Prairie, Ch. 5: The House on the Prairie

Auryaun's Bedtime Stories

Pa starts to build a house for the family, and Ma becomes tragically injured when helping him. This book was the basis for the popular television show by the same name. There are themes in the book that describe attitudes that would be considered backward and racist today. It is not the intention to either highlight or censor these, but to let them stand as they are in the book, as a record of historical interest.
