Blue cover, not checkered

What a simpler time, though not an easy frontier life, this book illustrates family life, being safe & wholesome reading. We love those twinkles in pa's eyes.

Great book. Different cover though - same ISBN number.

The Ingalls move to Kansas because of all the settling and cutting of trees in the woods where they had lived previously. You get to understand how life on the road would be like in that time. This is such an adventurous and historical account! I learned how houses were built back then, how people treated one another, how the Native Americans were viewed in that time by various people, and likewise how they viewed settlers. It was very educational and filled with adventure and fun.

I just read this book to my daughters for their first time. They absolutely loved it! I read the whole series when I was in late elementary school and middle school, and again as an adult, and what I enjoyed then was the descriptions of the Ingalls' family life. My daughters enjoyed that aspect, too. Now as a parent, I have a greater appreciation for the courage of Pa and Ma Ingalls to live the lives of pioneers. My daughters and I have moved on to the next book in the series, "On the Banks of Plum Creek". Our evening reading time is one of the best parts of the day!

My grandchildren loved it.
