So where are the companion volumes of the other Little House books with the original Sewell illustrations?

You can give your ID to rare booksellers or search the web to find them.

The non-first edition copies aren't worth thousands of dollars but are becoming harder to find. The Little House books illustrated by my husband's lovely aunt have become an international phenomenon.

Mildred also created art for other books (also collectibles), Jack and Jill magazine, etc. She traveled the world with her sister, an honored Brooklyn kindergarten teacher. She often took my husband to museums and tourist sites when he was a boy. The sisters moved from Brooklyn to Leisure Village (NJ) where they remained active into their eighties.

Beware. Numerous offerings on eBay, etc. aren’t first editions. Google for details on identifying a first edition Little House book. Similarly, there are pretenders for later editions asking way too much money. Do some research.(less)
