The Laura Ingalls Wilder Series
By Laura Ingalls Wilder
Review by Danielle,4th Grade Student
I enjoy the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books. In order they are:
Little House in the Big
Woods
Little House on the Praire
Farmer Boy
On the Banks of Plum Creek
On the Shores of Silver Lake
The Long Winter
Little Town on the Praire
These Happy Golden Years
The First Four Years
These books are about
Laura and her family. The people in her family are: Caroline (Ma), Charles (Pa),
Mary, Laura, Carrie, and Grace. Three reasons I like these books are:
1. They explain and use details.
2. I love history books especially Pioneer and Oregon Trail books.
3. They are exciting.
I like the Laura Ingalls Wilder series and you might too!
