I am so excited about this resource! As a girl who grew up hearing and reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series, watching the TV show, playing with the paper dolls, and collecting the book series for myself—adding this resource will make this beloved historical series into a workable unit study for all ages. Filled with contextual and historical references, crafts, recipes, vocabulary, further studies resources, field trip options, and end of the book discussion questions. There are wonderful photographs of places in the Ingalls life, Fact of Fiction sections, historical facts, and illustrations throughout. This covers each chapter from all nine books and provides additional context for where Laura and Almanzo ended up after The First Four Years. 173 pgs., pb. ~Rebecca
