INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Wilder, Laura Ingalls

Little House on the Prairie

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Garth Williams. This seventy-fifth-anniversary edition includes colorized versions of Garth Williams's classic understated illustrations (added in 1953). The shades are appropriately frontier-y, all muted browns and sunrise yellows, but the gleaming-white pages are a bit of a distraction. Some diverting ephemera--the book's first jacket, letters between Wilder and her editor, details about 2008's Little House musical--are appended.
