I would love to have this sort of scrapbook for myself - but since nobody is going to make it for me, it's not done yet. I really enjoyed this as I feel I learned a lot about the real Laura without having to be bogged down in an intense biography.

My Mom gave me and my sister's this book for Christmas. It was perfect since I was reading the series.

Many photos and interesting biographical tidbits make this an interesting book, but it isn't really a very substantial package. I loved all the information about Laura's later life as an authoress.

Laura’s Album is a collection from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “early writings, letters, drawings, and photographs” gathered from public and private sources. Running alongside the mementos is a written dialogue by Little House historian William Anderson. For Little House fans Laura’s Album this is a fun book to read.

A nice collection of items preserved from the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Some are things you hear mentioned/described, such as Laura's name cards. Some are things that you never you about, such as pictures Pa had drawn for them when they were little or a book Almanzo had given her in their courting days. For fans it's another peek into the real life of the author.

I love this charming scrapbook compiled of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s pictures, memories and such. By the end of the book, I did shed a of couple tears lol. A sweet, brilliant lady who reached, and is still reaching, millions today about her amazing life.

This was a nice antidote to the previous book. I picked it up at Old World Wisconsin last week and read it in about an hour (it’s only 80 pages). There are loads and loads of pictures: photographs of houses, people, and documents. Some are the usual standbys, of course, but there are enough new ones to make the book worthwhile if you are a Laura freak. Like me.

Every time I read something about Laura, I think how wonderful it would have been to have met her. Then again, it probably would never live up to my imagination of the event...

Seven years ago, my family & I visited SD and I just had to visit De Smet while we were there. Walking in the same place the Ingalls did, was surreal to me. I watched the Little House show with my Grandmother as a little girl and only did it dawn on me as an adult, that my Grandmother lived during Laura's lifetime. How amazing it must have been to hear of this author from the Midwest whose books were later made into a series and she was able to share that with me. I can't watch the show without feeling nostalgia, but every time I read about Laura's real life, I get tears in my eyes. What a treasure it is to have the information we do about a time when the country was still so young. I mean, it we really is still a young country, as we are only coming upon our 250 year birthday in just a couple years (2026). (There are countries much older than ours.) I recently purchased the Little House books for my niece and she started to read the series a little while ago and watching the show with her mom. It was kind of funny because when she started to watch the show, she noticed the differences between the show and the books.

I purchased this book at our local library in the book sale room. Although it is most likely more of a young readers historical book, I thoroughly enjoyed the historical and photos of the memorabilia of Laura, the homes she lived in and to find out that her daughter Rose was an accomplished author herself.
Rose even helped her mother to complete the Little House series, which we all know became a treasures t.v. series. This book will stay in my home bookshelf.

I picked this up at a used library book sale. I love little house on the prairie and read everything I can get my hands on about mrs. wilder and her family. I love this kind of history. The pictures are exceptional and the details are mindblowing. I will definitely read this book again.

This was a really neat book. I enjoyed all the pictures and letters that were strewn throughout the book. I also enjoyed learning a few things about Laura Ingalls Wilder that I hadn't known before. I liked how it talked about her grandparents, aunts and uncles and her parents and then what happened with her sisters after the books. I knew her daughter had become a journalist but I didn't realize just how involved in the literary world both Laura and her daughter were. Not to mention her sister Carrie. Her family in and of itself were at the forefront of pioneering in the west. It was a nice, quick little read for me. (considering it's supposed to be for grade school kids.)

This beautiful scrapbook collection describes the rich life that Laura Ingalls Wilder could mine for writing the "Little House" books. But it's not limited to her childhood - Anderson reveals her equally determined and successful farming life as the wife of Almanzo Wilder and mother of Rose Wilder Lane. "Laura's Album" is my book of choice to give friends who want to know more about the real LIW.
