I love the first two books because its just slice of life and nothing bad happens lol

The book I read was farmer boy days. This book was a really good book. This book was about this boy who did alot of farming and took care of all the animals on the farm. this book was about laura ingals wilder husband when he was a little boy. This book consists of two years of farming. In the growing season he does crops in the winter he does logs. He also went to school and everything else. He also helps his younger sisters, eliza jane and alice. yes i would recommend this book.

It was good. It was really long!

2. Called to adventure: getting baby bulls.
3. Entering the unknown: training the bulls.
4. Ally and helper: his dad.
5. Road of trials: hard work (training the bulls and doing his chores).
6. The final showdown: finishing training the bulls.
7. Return to the familiar: finish the training and start chores.
8. Having changed and sharing: being proud of his bulls.

It was so interesting to know Almanzo's family and how they lived every day. It was like being inside their house. What I remember the most and I bring it to my own times, is how Almanzo´s father gave his son the choice, reasoning on whehter it was worthwile to spend money on the pink lemonade during the Independence Day celebration in New York or better spend this money more wisely. The comparison on the time needed to earn money and the value for it was so transparent and still his dad did not oblige him, he gave him the choice. This was a beautiful, enriching and light read.

This was a fantastic nonfiction book that made me want to read more of Laura Ingalls Wilder novels. This story in particular is about Laura's husband Almanzo Wilder and his life as a boy living in the countryside of New York. Almanzo’s family is a very wealthy family owning a huge barn and working as smart farmers. Each year brings a new season and each season brings a hard task that Almanzo and his two sisters and brother work to fulfill the seasons crops. One strength about this book is that its very cool comparing the life of a girl in the late 1800s (Laura Ingalls Wilder)to the life of a boy(Almanzo Wilder)as the work as farmers in opposite sides of the country. Almanzo’s family owning huge barns and living in a huge house made me think how less fortunate Laura's family was having to move everywhere there dad leaving to find work. To me thats kind of funny that they ended up with each other living two different lives. To conclude I think that this is an excellent book.

I've been reading through the series with my children, and this was a bit harder of a read through than the rest of the series. It didn't seem to captivate the children's attention as much. Perhaps because he did not have the wild adventures and retellings that Laura had, but was focused more on food, etc.

loved it. sure to read it again

Re-read. I've always loved the descriptions of what he ate. It is amazing, too, all the work that was involved.

Thatcher and I read this together and LOVED it!

Wonderful read...It is a hard, honest way to live.....but you appreciate so much more!

I love the book

This story was interesting and told Almanzo's point of view and his adventures.
