On the Banks of Plum Creek

Move 'em out! The Ingalls are back in the wagon and headed across the prairie to Minnesota. Laura trades in her little house for a dug-out nestled beside Plum Creek. Your budding architects and civil engineers will love this one ; ).  Pa eventually builds a real house, sheltering the Ingalls  from blizzards and a plague of pestilence.  Book three of the Little House series continues the saga of planting and uprooting: the rhythm of pioneer life.

Little House on the Prairie #2

Pa says it's time to move. As more and more people move into the big woods, Pa feels the need to cultivate unsettled land.  The Ingalls family does precisely that in this second installment of the Little House series. This title book recounts the Ingalls journey by covered wagon from their log-cabin in Wisconsin to a little house Kansas.  The prairie is dangerous, unfamiliar, and beautiful; but most importantly, it is home.
