Little House on the Prairie《草原上的小木屋》为劳拉·英格斯·怀德所著的《小木屋》系列第三部，是系列小说中zui有名zui具有代表性的作品。小说非常集中地展现了劳拉一家拓荒过程中的艰难和危险。书中自始至终洋溢着的浓浓亲情，简陋物质条件下富足的精神世界，艰苦环境下乐观的生活态度，是值得每一个家庭，每一位家长和孩子思考和学习的。
在《草原上的小木屋》这本书中，劳拉·英格尔斯·怀尔德以她细腻、诚恳的笔法，将一个女孩的成长写得生动感人，更将父母手足间的亲情，她和阿曼乐含蓄隽永的夫妻之情，以及拓荒时代人们的勤奋，勇敢，对大自然的虔敬等，表现得淋漓尽致。本书的可贵之处就在于，它不但记录了美国拓荒时代的历史，更记录了个人的成长。

Little House on the Prairie《草原上的小木屋》描述劳拉一家离开威斯康星大森林，坐着篷车迁徙到堪萨斯大草原的经过，这正是当时美国西部垦荒者的典型写照。这次搬家，劳拉一家惊险万分地渡过涨水的河流，到了大草原以后，他们也曾遇到印第安人，并遭受狼群包围、草原大火以及热病的侵袭，但后来他们还是住进了爸亲手所盖的小木屋中，在草原上度过了一段靠打猎维生的甜美时光。
Pa Ingalls decides to sell the little log house, and the family sets out for Indian country! They travel from Wisconsin to Kansas, and there, finally, Pa builds their little house on the prairie. Sometimes farm life is difficult, even dangerous, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. As her classic LittleHouse books tell us, she and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. She and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books, and lived until she was ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved LittleHousebooks.
