Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-27 00:00:00 John Walker I just read this aloud to my kids, since we're "Little House" TV show freaks. My third grader is into the books, too, so she was kinda riveted (not so with the second grader). This short bio was good for a rainy day, albeit a little too glowing--but that's okay. I'm secretly interested in the private dark thoughts of this Laura woman. There were, however, some interesting revelations! --Laura REALLY did call Almanzo "Manly." What's with that????? You know it's gotta be good. --When Laura was a kid and her family was living in town, running a hotel and being poor, an old lady offered to adopt Laura. This, the lady thought, would help the family out. Not a bad idea? Ma and Pa turned down the offer. --Laura had the word "obey" removed from her wedding vows! This would be pretty radical back then! Right now, my family is--we really are freaks--in the 8th season of the TV show, and it's mostly jumped the shark. Still, there's this sense that this Laura Ingalls Wilder was a handful. I think I'd like her.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-02 00:00:00 Zachary Cowley This was a great biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I thought that I knew everything there was to know about her but I was wrong! I was able to go to Rocky Ridge and see her former home as well as the home Rose had built for her parents. It was so inspiring to be in her actual kitchen and living room.
