The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Marta McDowell

Here is the book Summary:

A must-read companion to the Little House books


2017 is the 150th anniversary of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s birthday. Her beloved Little House series tells a classic coming-of-age story based on Wilder’s own family life and is a reflection of the pioneer spirit of the time. They are also deeply rooted in the natural world. The plants, animals, and landscapes are so integral to the stories, they are practically their own characters.

The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder, by New York Times bestselling author Marta McDowell, explores Wilder’s deep relationship to the landscape. Follow the wagon trail of the series, starting in the Wisconsin setting of Little House in the Big Woods to the Dakotas and finally to Missouri. Throughout, you’ll learn details about Wilder’s life and inspirations, discover how to visit the real places today, and even learn to grow the plants and vegetables featured in the stories.

The artful package includes original illustrations by Helen Sewell and Garth Williams, along with historical and contemporary photographs. The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder is a must-have treasure for the millions of readers enchanted by Laura’s wild and beautiful life.

And now, my review:
A great school book or a companion book if you just love the Little House of the Praise books or tv series.  I really enjoyed this book.  There are full color pictures in this book that brings what the author is talking about in a visual form.  That is SO helpful for all ages and keeps the reader reading.  We enjoyed reading about the “pioneers of our country” and the hardships they faced.  The way they lived off the land and made due with what they had.  I recommend you pick up a copy of this book for yourself and enjoy.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
