Little Town on the Prairie


The Ingalls family gets a cat when Pa's hair is shorn off by a mouse in the middle of the night. Blind big sister Mary goes to college in Iowa and everyone misses her terribly.
Laura is walked home and courted by Almanzo Wilder. She secures a teaching job 12 miles away from home at age 15.
We will continue the series with Farmer Boy about Almanzo's boyhood after which we will read These Happy Golden Years about Laura and Almanzo's life together.
