(Little House Series, #4)

by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Synopsis: 
Immerse yourself in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House series, now featuring Garth Williams’ classic art in vibrant full-color. Based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, On the Banks of Plum Creek is the Newbery Honor-winning fourth book in the Little House series, which has captivated generations of readers.
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. They settle into a house made of sod on the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds them a sturdier house, with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and Mary go to school, help with the chores around the house, and fish in the creek. Pa’s fiddle lulls them all to sleep at the end of the day. But then disaster strikes—on top of a terrible blizzard, a grasshopper infestation devours their wheat crop. Now the family must work harder than ever to overcome these challenges.

The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family sticking together through thick and thin.

My Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎

5 stars & 5/10 hearts. I really love this particular book out of the series. These books have been around all my life, and I still love them. They’re amazing grow-up-with books. I love the creek descriptions, and the descriptions of the house, and the feel of the book, even if the debts make me cringe so! Laura’s attitude to Nellie is wrong, but you must admit Nellie was a spoiled brat. ;)

A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “The path stooped in the shade of a great willow tree. A footbridge went on across the water to level, sunny grass. Then the dim path wandered on until it curved around a tiny hill and went out of sight.
“Laura thought that the little path went on forever wandering on sunny grass and rising friendly streams and always going around low hills to see what was on the other side. She knew it really must go to Mr. Nelson’s[,] but it was a little path that did not want to stay anywhere. It wanted always to be going on.”
