My family and I may never be able to visit the "Little House" country in person, but this photo-filled book makes us feel as if we were there. This is a picture book in the most literal sense of the word! Each of the full-color, professional photographs has a caption of several sentences describing the photograph and some interesting details about the scenes in them.

The photographer traveled through Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, and New York to take these pictures. We can see the footbridge over Plum Creek in the summer time and the sun rising over a wintry Silver Lake. We are taken inside Laura's prairie schoolhouse and into the writing study she used as an adult. We are shown a picture of the Ingalls' family Bible with Ma's beautiful handwriting and another of Pa's fiddle. These photographs truly reinforce the idea that the "Little House" books are telling the story of a real family. This book is a "Must Read" for any fan of the series!
