Engaging discussion questions and activities help students appreciate the enduring novels of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Cross-curricular before-, during-, and after-reading activities provide a comprehensive study of Little Town on the Prairie.

Drawing links between the experiences of the Ingalls family as described in the Little House series with events of the times, a study indicates its historically accurate portrayal of life on the nineteenth-century agricultural frontier.

Follows the adventures of the Ingalls family from the time they find a livable homestead in De Smet, Dakota Territory, through the courtship and marriage of Laura and Almanzo.

Inside the little house in the Big Woods lives the Ingalls family: Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura and baby Carrie. Outside the little house are the wild animals: the bears, the deer and the wolves. This is the classic tale of how they live together, mostly in harmony, but sometimes in fear . . .

From Model Ts to the information highway, box socials to virtual reality, our prairie past is in danger of obliteration because of the speed of change from one generation to the next. In O Little Town, Harlo Jones combines youthful innocence and wonder with adult awareness and insight to create a work of witness, chronicling small-town life as seen by a child in the 1920s and '30s. He recalls the characters universal to this place in time, from the lonely Chinese immigrant to the mysterious "remittance man," as well as teachers, friends, and even the family dogs. But he also moves beyond characters to describe the social, religious, educational and commercial institutions of a prairie town with affection and accuracy.

Laura Ingalls and her family are heading to Kansas! Leaving behind their home in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, they travel by covered wagon until they find the perfect spot to build a little house on the prairie. Laura and her sister Mary love exploring the rolling hills around their new home, but the family must soon get to work, farming and hunting and gathering food for themselves and for their livestock. Just when the Ingalls family starts to settle into their new home, they find themselves caught in the middle of a conflict. Will they have to move again?

Includes two fully laminated spreads showing the Little House in the Big Woods, another laminated spread showing the yard outside, thirty reusable stickers of the Little House characters, and a brief story about Laura and Mary.
