"Laura Ingalls's story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Four-year-old Laura lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack.
Pioneer life is sometimes hard, since the family must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her folks celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep." (Amazon description)
Grace's review- I asked what she thought of the book, "Pa will not see a bear ever again." Her favorite part "When a bear was in the fence and Ma and Laura thought it was a cow." Least favorite "When Laura's friend stepped on the bee hive." Favorite character "Ma because she makes cheese and I love cheese." I asked if she would like to live in the big woods like Laura and her family "No I like it here with my family. Grandma, Nana, Papaw and Atticus, staying in my comfy old bed." She also thinks that they need more pets.
