so-soThis was a long ass book. I had no idea how contemptuous a relationship LIW and RLM had. Rose was kind of awful, and their relationship dynamic was weird. Anyway, you learn a lot about everything during that time period (maybe too much) & unfortunately I won't look at the cherished series from childhood the same way after reading this and knowing the hand (or pen) Rose had to it
“Each day brought something new for the Ingalls family as they worked hard to build their new life on the prairie.”
This book can be linked to lessons on American history, specifically westward expansion, and can be used to engage students in discussions about family, resilience, and adaptation to new environments.
pickThis book was published in 1998 and is a historical fiction book that is part of the My First Little House Books series. The story follows the Ingalls family's move to the prairie, where they build a new home and settle into frontier life. The book's illustrations and simple narrative introduce young readers to life on the American frontier.
I‘m nearing the end of my reread of the Little House series.
Much of my enjoyment has been discovering that I somehow seem to empathize with the adults now (and that I can‘t stop questioning the lifestyle choices they were happy to live with). 😆
