As I go through the Little House series I am reminded of how easy I have it here in my life. No fires to make, bread to bake, curtains to sew and yet I am drawn into the lives of this family and wish that I could give my children the opportunities of life that the Ingalls had...even though it is hard and sometimes heart breaking.
The family has moved to Plum Creek from Indian Territory and are making their home on the vast prairie. They work hard through a hard winter and then watch their crops be eaten by grasshoppers, yet their faith and determination never falters. It'll be better next year, Caroline.
This is the book where readers are introduced to Nelly and Willy, to school with Mrs. Beetle and an adventure that seems to never end. And yet it is all told within a couple of years.
I am enjoying this series with my daughter.
