Great read with my 8yo. We both love it so much.

We’ve only read 7 chapters but so far Little Miss is paying attention and when I ask her what happened in the chapter, she is comprehending it and analyzing it with thoughtful insights! We have a winner! (I think me reading to her is taking some pressure off for her, my reluctant reader).

So good, and now I don’t want to stop until I finish!

It took a while but now it’s really moving along.

Such beautiful heartbreaking writing.

This book is exactly what I’ve been looking forward to.

It's slow going. But Pa now has to sell the cow to pay for Mary to go to college. Oh Pa.

So far this book is not exciting. Where are the grasshoppers??

Almanzo is saving the day, of course!!

They don't have enough food to last the winter. 😱

On this Mother's Day, I'm thinking of Ma Ingalls, who worked so hard just to keep food in the bellies of her girls, but she also instilled in them the importance of education. Amazing pioneer woman!

I'm always worried when Pa tells Ma not to worry. :-/

Cried at PAGE 12. A new Little House record for how early tragedy can strike!

Nothing worse than Nellie Oleson except maybe wheat-eating grasshopper blight.

It is slow going but Charlie and I are committed to finishing.

When you love a book so much that you slow down on the reading so it won't end, but you can't stop reading because you want to know what happens.

This book is astonishing. The writing is perfection.

There is nothing better than Laura Ingalls Wilder.
