When Pa comes to visit the farm in Missouri, he and Laura have much fun reminiscing about the old days. While life goes on in Mansfield, Missouri, Laura agrees to help her elderly father fulfill his dream of returning to their former home on the Kansas prairie. On the way they relive many of the special memories of their past.
A friend gave me the first four in these series, but in reading this book I was disappointed to find that they do not match the quality of the Little House on the Prarie books. I was further disappointed to discover that in the past there was some debate over the legality of publishing these books. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in this series.
Still not historically correct-book had Pa visiting Laura 4 years after he’d died. And I seriously doubt he ever called her “Laurie”. The Youngun kids are still horrible with their “jokes”. This particular book was sometimes hard to tell the reminiscing from the actual time frame of the story.
Can I give it less than 1 star? Every character is completely annoying. It's horrible that this author decided to use well respected historical figures to prop up his story about the most annoying unsympathetic children ever. And he couldn't even get the history correct.
Not as good as some of the others in this series. I enjoyed somewhat reading about Pa’s visit and adventure with Laura, but I honestly get tired of the kids antics that sound more like kids in today’s world rather than in the early 1900’s. Also, this series doesn’t have the same purity as the good old Little House books written by Laura Wilder herself.
