About the book
The first in a series of truly charming tales of life on the early American frontier, Little House in the Big Woods introduces us to Laura Ingalls, her Ma and Pa, big sister Mary and Baby Carrie. She lives in an isolated cabin in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and spends her days helping Ma with household chores, learning how to care for a house, farm and family. The descriptions of typical activities on a farm in that era will captivate the imaginations of young and old alike. This series also contains the titles Little House on the Prairie, On The Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Farmer Boy, Little Town on the Prairie, These Happy Golden Years, and The First Four Years.
