Summary: Quite A Downer
Review: The book begins with the Ingall's dreams and hopes of making a fortune by planting wheat. The rest of the pages follow three years of disasters that make this goal entirely unrealized. Quite depressing. It's saving grace comes in the lessons learned. Namely, that as long as you have a caring family even the worst trials can be managed. Bittersweet.

Summary: JINC'S CHILDREN'S BOOK CLUB
Review: This book captured our attention, but some club members thought the book was just "okay." We liked many aspects of the book. We liked the good descriptions of nature and people such as the one about Nellie Olesen who we thought was asinine. We also liked how the characters really cherished things that are common to us like candy. It made us realize how lucky we are. Nature plays a huge role in this story, and it made us realize how powerful yet precious nature is. The characters in the story cared for nature unlike today when we pollute our environment. Families back then had a totally different life style than we have now. In our world today it seems there are two equal sides: inside and outside. To the Ingalls there were two completely unequal sides. Outside was much greater than inside. We had one big criticism of the book. The Ingalls family seemed too perfect compared to modern families. We thought it was a little fake how everyone was always so loving and never fought. Like many true stories, this one doesn't really have just one plot or story line. It just goes from one event to the next. All in all, though, it was a good story.

Summary: this was my favorite of the Little House series
Review: This book is both joyful and heartbreaking. As a child I spent hours acting out the story with my dolls...the oxen, the horses named Sam and David, the little church in town, the nice girls and the snobby girls in school, the flags and rushes on the creek, the horrible grasshoppers and Pa's being away for so long while he went to find work....This is a very detailed, gripping story that really makes time fly. I loved it best of all the books in the series, and I really liked them all!

Summary: I liked it because I like all the little house books.
Review: This book was great. It was about a 7 year old girl named Laura Ingalls Wilder. She moved away from indian country and lived very close to town for a change and got to go to school and church for the first time. Also, I liked the chapter called Grasshoppers Walking. The grasshoppers came in a grasshopper cloud. They all walked away and then covered the ground and finally they flew off into another place and the Ingalls family didn't have to worry about the grasshoppers eating their wheat any more.

Summary: A story of our history.
Review: This story tells of how the pioneering Ingalls family move from the prarie to Plum Creek where they live in a little sod house. For the first time, Mary and Laura are able to attend school where they meet Nellie Olson. This book tells of the joys of friendship and family and of frightening experiences like a grasshopper plague. Anyone who did not read these stories as a child should as an adult. A must for every child's library.

Summary: Favorite childhood book
Review: This whole series was one of my favorite when I was a kid. I still have warm memories over it, and, strangely enough, I'm using it right now in an essay I'm writing in college. I just wanted to tell anyone who's looking at it that this is a very good book, they all are, you should definately buy it.
