Laura Ingalls Wilder had a way of describing her surroundings that make the reader truly able to visualize it themselves. Although other titles in the series are more my favorites, I still love this one. (  ) sdbookhound | Dec 25, 2009 |  Laura Ingalls Wilder retains information from her childhood and retells the story of her family moving into the troubled Dakota Territory. Here she struggles to deal with the loss of the family dog, Jack and of her sister's blindness. She assists her older sister by describing their new surroundings as well as her new home she will be living in. Laura also loves to rides a horse and encourages her family to get through a cold winter. (  ) dgadkins88 | Oct 7, 2009 | While I did enjoy this book, it is definitely written for a younger audience. I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more if I read it when I was younger. But the story was good and I enjoyed picturing the way of life of the past. (  ) boredness | Sep 1, 2009 | This novel was a return to lots more adventures for the Ingalls family. I particularly enjoyed seeing how the town of DeSmet was raised up from the dust of the prairie in a mad rush for land and business. My kids loved the night that the family woke up to snow on their beds from a spring storm that rushed through the unfinished cracks on their 'storefront' building. ( ) tjsjohanna | Aug 4, 2009 | Read these as a child and loved them all. I had the 9 boxed set volume. FMRox | Aug 2, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams’ interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors' house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses' covered-wagon travels are finally over.
