I’m passing on some important information from April Halprin Wayland, author of one of my family’s favorite picture books (as I may have mentioned once or twice…):
If you ordered IT’S NOT MY TURN TO LOOK FOR GRANDMA! from April Halprin
Wayland’s website, her order form is broken and she didn’t get your
order. Please email her at aprilwayland@aol.com.
"Where can I find the unabridged editions of the Martha and Charlotte
books" is one of the questions I am asked most frequently. I have set up a page to list any sources readers alert me to. If you spot the books somewhere, please let me know and I’ll add the information to this list.
Please note: none of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books have been abridged. You can find them anywhere!
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the Little House books
via email lately, and I thought I’d post the answers to some of them
here so others can find them.
Where can I find a listing of all the Little House books in order?

Important note: A few of the Martha, Charlotte, Caroline, and
Rose books were republished in heavily abridged editions. You can
recognize the abridgments by their photographic covers (pictures of
real girls). The orginal, unabridged editions have illustrated covers.
I highly recommend looking for the originals! For more information,
visit my Little House FAQ page. A list of sources for the unabridged editions can be found here.
