A simple story! My son loved it! A great winter story!

I love this story and its soft and cozy illustrations. Such a sweet addition to our collection. <3

I loved the book. It was a cute story with educational benefits. It helps bring history to life for young children/early readers. I didn’t think she would like it as much as she did since it was about a little boy. She liked it because it showed her how a boy her age might have lived.

A wonderful book to introduce children to Almanzo Wilder and winter farm life

We have a few of these on the shelf, and as a Little House fan, it’s gratifying that my 5-year-olds seem to love these picture book adaptations of some of the stories and vignettes from the original books. In this one, they get a “slice of life” view of a winter day at Almanzo’s childhood farm. It’s fascinating to them to read about what his chores were, and what the family ate for dinner. The illustrations in these picture books are beautiful, two-page spread, full bleed, which makes it easy to really get absorbed by the story.

I love the Little House Books it is a quick way to see the life from our past.

Another adorable picture book for Little House fans!

This is a good book for grades k-2, 3-4. This book is good for children because it gives a little glimpse of life back in the day and it talks about animals so children can learn about them. It is from a boys perspective so it could get boys involved. The genre is biography

Summary
The book Winter on the Farm is a book from the series "Little House on the prairie." This story followed the day of a boy named Almonzo. I would guess that Almondo was around eight years old. Throughout the story, it showed how life was back in the early 1910s. During the story, he milked his cow and helped with the farm chores.

Opinion
Growing up I loved these book in chapter book form but I was not very engaged in this particular book. Maybe children who have not read a book from a different time period would be engrossed. That is why I rated it a three.

Teaching Idea
I believe that this would be a good text for a student who is reading on a 2nd-grade reading level. It might also be a good one to use for a guided reading lesson. I would expand on the text by talking more about the time period, how people lived, and what a school room looked like. Maybe I would even run my classroom as the classrooms were run back then for a day to give my students the full experience.

Emily doesn't like "The Farmer Boy" books as much as the books about Laura and Mary but I still do.
