Summary: Just Like the TV Show Little House on the Prairie
Comment: Remember that show "Little House on the Prairie"? Well, this is the book that it's all about. Here is the family: Pa, Ma, Mary 8, Laura 7, and Carrie 2. Baby Grace isn't born yet in this book. All their childhood adventures happen here: First day of school, mean Nellie Oleson, party with their friends, and their first real house with a doorknob! Through anything that ever happens, they know they have each other. That's why even though some things go terribly wrong, it is an adventure to them. Even so, by the end of this book, I wished they had never moved from their "Little House in the Big Woods". By the way, this is a true story. It covers approximately 2 years.
The next book in the series, By the Shores of Silver Lake, takes place about 4 years later when Laura is about 13. This large gap makes watching the show enjoyable because there is a long time period not covered in the books and these are things that could have happened during that unrecorded time. It is fun to read real history and this book is one of the best. Find out just what people do when home is a hole in a hill. What's it like to go to school in your bare feet when most people don't have shoes? What do you do when a fireball rolls into your house? What do you do for fun when TV's haven't been invented, the family owns one book, and oh yeah, there are no toys? Read this book and find out!

Summary: On the Banks of Plum Creek
Comment: On the Banks of Plum Creek is a really good book. Laura is seven like me. Her big sister Mary is eight. The little sister Carrie is two. They moved to the banks of Plum Creek and built a house. There was a town three miles away so they got to go to school. They had lots of fun in the water. You should read this book.

Summary: JINC'S CHILDREN'S BOOK CLUB
Comment: This book captured our attention, but some club members thought the book was just "okay." We liked many aspects of the book. We liked the good descriptions of nature and people such as the one about Nellie Olesen who we thought was asinine. We also liked how the characters really cherished things that are common to us like candy. It made us realize how lucky we are. Nature plays a huge role in this story, and it made us realize how powerful yet precious nature is. The characters in the story cared for nature unlike today when we pollute our environment. Families back then had a totally different life style than we have now. In our world today it seems there are two equal sides: inside and outside. To the Ingalls there were two completely unequal sides. Outside was much greater than inside. We had one big criticism of the book. The Ingalls family seemed too perfect compared to modern families. We thought it was a little fake how everyone was always so loving and never fought. Like many true stories, this one doesn't really have just one plot or story line. It just goes from one event to the next. All in all, though, it was a good story.
