On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House)

So sad... It's funny how you can see life becoming harder for the family as Laura gets older. I truly hate grasshoppers now.

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota. Here they settle in a little house made of sod beside the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds a wonderful new little house with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and her sister Mary go to school, help with the chores, and fish in the creek. At night everyone listens to the merry music of Pa's fiddle. Misfortunes come in the form of a grasshopper plague and a terrible blizzard, but the pioneer family works hard together to overcome these troubles.

I’m still completely engrossed in this series. For the first time in Laura’s story (not including Farmer Boy since it revolved around Almanzo instead), the show begins to deviate from the books that inspired them. Some of the characters in the book, while still present, differed greatly from their counterparts I have come to know through the show. There was one change I’m incredibly glad that the show made, and that was the substitution of hail for the plague of grasshoppers that hits the Ingalls farm in the book. Those grasshoppers were disturbing and stomach-turning to read about, and I’m incredibly grateful that I didn’t have to see them on the show. However, that plague was morbidly interested to read about, and I couldn’t put the book down because I needed to know what happened and how the family bounced back. While I’ve enjoyed reading about Laura’s life, I’m becoming more and more thankful with every book read that I don’t live during the pioneer age. Their lives were insanely rough, and there was never an end to the hard work required to just continue squeaking by. I’ll take air conditioning and supermarkets over prairie life any day!

this series just gets better and better! i loved the second half of this book, it really felt like the whole second half was building on the first half. the blizzards were a joy to read, and i felt cozy and just couldn't stop grinning when pa finally came home. these books are so sweet and even with no nostalgia for them, i can't wait to share these with my kids.

Such a good book it show the love of a family.

I really enjoyed the 4th Little House book. I think I enjoyed it the most actually because Wilder had a more distinctive plot. The first three books are charming because they simply tell the day-t0-day activities of simple farming families, but she took this book to the next level by including some conflict and resolution. This helped to develop the characters and make them feel more real to me!
