FROM SARAH:

The story of the boy who will grow up to marry Laura, Farmer Boy tells of Almanzo and his family, who live on a farm in upstate New York. Based on a true story, of course! (You can read this Little House on the Prairie book out of order—it's a great introduction to the rest of the series, especially for boys.)

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

This is Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of how her husband, Almanzo, grew up as a farmer boy far from the little house where Laura lived.

FROM SARAH:

Lauded by many as some of the best American books of all time for children, the Little House series is based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's real life. I prefer to listen to these on audio (narrated by Cherry Jones) rather than reading them aloud. Highly, highly recommended for all ages. Also wonderful on audio (Audible | LibroFM).

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

The first in Laura’s story about her family of American pioneers. Join the Ingalls family as they celebrate Christmas and the harvest and their first trip to town.
