Yes, we have four of the illustrated "My First Little House" books, and they are wonderful. We have Winter Days in the Big Woods, Summertime in the Big Woods, Prairie Day, and Dance at Grandpa's. That's what made her initially excited to have "a big book about Laura and Mary."
What about Thornton Burgess?
Well, librarian-in-training, maybe you could advise me on that. ;-)
I looked at some on Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/b#a717), and they seemed very, very old-fashioned in their language and style. But yeah, I remember liking them too. I can picture exactly where they kept them in the Booth School library, under the windows that led to the library classroom where we saw filmstrips.
