The Little House series are among my favorite books! They're really simple but provide much insight into the lives of the pioneers. I really love them!

Read this book over the course of a month and quite honestly, I should have finished this book sooner, but due to the fact that I focusing on basically one book for the past month, I basically ignored this one. While this was probably the second book that Wilder wrote, it felt like it was her first that she wrote, due to some minor grammatical issues that I had in the early part of the book; some of it didn't seem to flow properly, but overall it is a nice introduction to the travels that the Ingalls family would take over the next 10 years or so. Interestingly enough, the family actually went to Kansas before returning to Wisconsin again (during which time the events of Little House in the Big Woods take place, or most of them) and then left from Wisconsin to Minnesota, etc.

This book is great story. There is a lot to learn from reading it. Suitable for mid to late primary students & a real cracker for parents/guardians to read to their kids too. Highly recommended.

what a lovely little story about a family that is no more than moving you could read all of them because its not fiction these things really happened. it is some times a sad story and some times happy.

This entry in the series looks at the politics of being a settler in the late 1800s. Laura’s Pa packs them up and leaves Wisconsin because too many settlers have come to the area. He leads them to Kansas based on rumours that Indian Territory will soon be open to settlement. Pa teaches his family to respect the natives’ right of way on their farm and to leave them alone, all while resting on the belief that the U.S. government declared native land open to his family. After a year he learns that Indian Territory is in fact not open to settlement and the army is on its way to eject any settlers. Livid at the thought of being forcibly removed from his land, Pa packs them up again and moves East. Full of entitlement yet anti-authoritarian, how American.

I started reading this series in grade 4 and loved them.(but it's okay for grade 2's and up ) The tv series changed some things around, but still a good program to watch. Love that spunky, determined Laura.

The Ingalls family moved from the Big Woods of Wisconsin to Kansas in 1868 (stopping for a while in Rothville, Missouri), and lived there between 1869 and 1870. Baby Carrie was born there in August, and a few weeks after her birth, they were forced to leave the territory (however, in the novel, Carrie is present during the move to Kansas). The Ingalls family moved back to Wisconsin where they lived the next four years. In 1874 they started for Walnut Grove, Minnesota, stopping for a while in Lake City, Minnesota. Although Wilder states that Charles Ingalls had been told that the Kansas territory would soon be up for settlement, their homestead was on the Osage Indian reservation and Charles' information was incorrect. The Ingalls family had no legal right to occupy their homestead, and once informed of their error, left the territory despite the fact that they had only just begun farming it. Several of their neighbors stayed and fought the decision.
