Synopsis: Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books, based on her own childhood and later life, are still beloved classics almost a century after she began writing them. Now young readers will see just how similar Laura's true-life story was to her books. Born in 1867 in the "Big Woods" in Wisconsin, Laura experienced both the hardship and the adventure of living on the frontier. Her life and times are captured in engaging text and 80 black-and-white illustrations.

Review: I don't generally post in this blog, the children's books that read. However, I'm a huge Laura Ingalls Wilder fan so I have to this time. I didn't get any new information out of this, and a couple facts may not have been correct, or I read them differently in another book. This is a great introduction to Laura for kids, and a good supplement to The Little House books (which I can't seem to get my own children interested in).
