Summary: 5 Stars
Little House On The Prairie is a longer read than Little House In The Big Woods and deals more with action and adventture. While the first book seemed to be a guide book on survival in the wild this book is more of a tale with Indians, bush fires and other dangers. Living on the prairie is not the same as living in the big woods, so we do learn some new things about prioneer life and the problems the family faced. In same ways the second book is superior to the first.
Book Review: Illustration of Life on the Frontier
Summary: 5 Stars
After the Civil War, the Wilder family has decided to make a big move - join the migration to the frontier, from the little cabin in the woods of Wisconsin. The main character and author, Laura, tells about the difficulties and advantages of life on the praire. Even though the journey there is difficult, and, at time, tragic, the family is able to pull through, and arive in the praire of Kansas to make their new life and create their new adventures.
This book is a timeless classic. Every child should read this series at some point. It helps children understand praire life, while entertaining them at the same time.
Book Review: Historical Fiction Book Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book Little House on the Prairie. This book is great. Laura and her family went west. Indians kept coming in the house. The Indians almost stole important suplies.
I learned some interesting facts. I learned that there is a gas heavier than air that stays underground. I also learned that lots of people went west and forced Indians to move farther west. I also learned that there was a sickness called fever 'n' ague that was really malaria that some mosquitoes give it to people.
I would recommend this book for three reasons. First I would recommend this book because it gives information about the past. Next I would recommend this book because it is a great story about a family and Indians. Finally I would recommend this book because it is like going back in time. Little House on the Prairie is a good book.
Book Review: Not as good as the first one
Summary: 4 Stars
This book gives a very realistic view of a young white girl living in the time and place that she did. Laura and her family were, at times, kind of racist against the native Americans. When I first read this book, I was very dissapointed at that but now I realized that Laura was just a very ignorant girl who has been taught to fear them. So if you read this book, you should understand that these people lived in a very different world from us, not just in terms of electricity and modern inventions, but also socially. Anyway, apart from being slihjtly racist, I just don't like this book as much as Little House in the Big Woods but it's still pretty good for young kids.
