My Favorite Book

One of my favorite children's book is Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder.  In fact, my parents read us the whole series when we were younger.  I'm not sure why this one was my favorite, but reading it recently defiantly made me remember how amazing of a book it is.  Wilder does a great job of describing the surroundings and everyday life of her family.  After doing a little research, I found out that when her family moved to the "little house on the prairie", Laura was only three.  In the book she tells the story as though she is six or seven.  Many of the experiences she has on the prairie remind me of living in the country for my whole life.  Even though it is obviously very different, my siblings and I spent day after day outside playing in the creek and climbing trees.  Laura also spends much of her time exploring the outdoors, even though living in Indian territory could be dangerous.  For the most part, this book just makes me happy!  It is wonderfully interesting and a pleasure to read!
