A wonderful read for all Laura fans!
This is another great book by this team of authors who really know how to present information in a lively, easy to read format, with wonderful illustrations! Book features new crafts revolving around themes from the books and the period, time lines of events happening in the world during Laura's time, information about the real life stories of the Ingalls and Wilder families. An enjoyable book for child or adult readers with lots of projects that can be done together. If you have not read the other Collins / Eriksson books, I highly recommend searching though Amazon for the others, they are all fantastic!

Interesting history lesson for Little House fans
I always enjoyed reading the Little House books when I was a child and found this book to be very enjoyable. The history of that time period is fascinating and the detail in this book is very thorough. I will keep this book in my personal library.
