I gave this book a rating of three because it gave a lot of information, but was really easy to read. Even though it was easy to read I enjoyed reading it!
This review is from someone who read this book but has NOT read the Little House books yet. I'm familiar with their titles and the general idea of them which helped as I read this. I thought it was a clear introduction to Laura's early years and beautifully illustrated. So many illnesses that I'm grateful aren't part of life around me anymore. It touches on pioneer life but as it is a biography is obviously focused on Laura and mostly her immediate family.
A wonderful summary of Laura Ingalls Wilder, her husband Alamanzo, and daughter Rose. Fun read for a fan who has read her other books. I would suggest reading this first, as it gives a nice summary of her and what the rest of her books hold.
This was a really good, comprehensive biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Although written for children, it was very interesting. I knew bits and pieces of the story from reading some of the books as a kid, but I'd never heard the whole thing from start to finish.
I'm definitely inspired to re-read the original Little House books now!
This book was basically a summery of all the little house books and the real life things that had happened to Laura and put in chronological order. It also tells details I had never known. I loved it. Definitely planning on making her gingerbread recipe in the back.
