Enjoy the first book in the Little House series. It's 1871, and four-year-old Laura lives in a log cabin with her Pa, Ma, sisters Mary and Carrie, and their loyal dog, Jack. Pioneer life in Wisconsin is challenging, but this close-knit family makes the best of it. Laura's first taste of maple sugar and the maple sap harvest scene are among the many charming stories told.
