mama_soap 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 I'm afraid I haven't read the book yet (sorry), but why don't you just read the whole thing? It can't be that difficult... or do you have an urgent deadline? In that case, I would suggest going online and looking for book reviews, I think you stand a better chance of finding out that way - although I suppose it couldn't be as good as reading the book itself.Good luck.

conret 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) well this is whati ended up writing do u guys like it Little House on the Prairie Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House on the Prairie, by Laura Ingalls Wilder, is a story about a family?s journey from the Woods of Wisconsin to Kansas. The novel takes place during the time of the Oregon Trail which was during the 1800?s, since that was when the people were exploring the new land and people were moving out of their old crowded towns to the wide Indian country. This trip was hard for everyone because of the lakes, mountains, and other places they had to pass trough. And the book shows the trouble that the family had to go trough to get to Kansas country. They had to cross the Mississippi river during the winter when it was covered with ice. Also they had to make a new camp every night. Not only was nature their problem but also wild animals like wolves and Indians which the family feared would catch them. When they reach Kansas Pa stopped the Wagon and said that he will build a log cabin right there. They made some friends from the surrounding areas and they helped Pa build the cabin. The setting is very important to the story because the book is about how they adapt to the environment. For example since they were so used to living in the woods, the prairie was a new and a refreshing start for them. It is interesting how they find new things that surround them like neighbors and pack of wolfs which almost got Pa. Notice from BuffaloHELP: Have patience and do not double or triple post.

Cool_Freaker 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 I got the box set and read them many years ago. Interesting, I have to say, if not rather slow. I guess you gave a rather cosmetic summary, which should be good enough? From what I remember there are a lot of "trivial" events which make up the whole story. To be honest I preferred the later/middle ones in the series.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wild20 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 I like it except the ending could have been a little better I find the best way to finish it is something like. "This book is both informative on pioneer life, as well as the details of their hard life that went along with it." (Just what I would do depending on your style) But I would suggest starting a little bit earlier. Hey tell us how it goes if you can. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~Nick[; 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 My mother was a really big fan of Little House on The Prairie when she was younger. She still likes it, too, just doesn't really watch the shows anymore. To tell the truth, she doesn't really watch any TV anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moutonoir 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2008 In second grade my teacher read us "Little House in the Big Woods." We did several projects on it and did all these activities that related to it...it was a lot of fun. I loved the book and went on the read the rest of the series. I love how the series spans across Laura's whole life throughout the years, as well as showing the life of her husband. It makes it so interesting and memorable.
