What this book is about
The fourth Little House novel follows the Ingalls family to Walnut Grove, Minnesota, where Pa builds a dugout and then a wooden house near Plum Creek. Laura and Mary attend school for the first time, make friends, and discover the beautiful creek — but when the grasshopper plague destroys the wheat crop, the family faces hardship again. Wilder's storytelling is warm and specific about pioneer life. Appropriate for all ages.
