Editorial Review:

Product Description:


For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams' interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as beautifully redesigned covers.



While Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Here Almanzo and his brother and sisters help with the summer planting and fall harvest. In winter there is wood to be chopped and great slabs of ice to be cut from the river and stored. Time for fun comes when the jolly tin peddler visits, or best of all, when the fair comes to town.



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.






Rating: - Every child should be read aloud this book

Rating: - Harder, simpler times of days gone by in the life of an eight-year-old farm boy
Having somehow never read Little House on the Prairie or anything else by Laura Ingalls Wilder as a child, I find myself reading Farmer Boy because my favorite eight-year-old bookworm "BW" is reading it in school. They have little in common. The title character, Almanzo, the youngest of the four Wilder children, lives on a farm in northern New York at a time when (p 28) "children must be seen and not heard." Truly. Almanzo (who in real-life grew up to become the husband of Laura Ingalls) awakens at 5:30 ... Read More

Rating: - Great Motivational book for children
If your kids complain that you give them too many chores to do and they never get any time to have fun this book should be a must read! Not only does it contain numerous lessons about farming techniques and problems but it also shows how much a little boy of 10 years is capable of doing and how willing and proud he is of doing it. I was very impressed with the book and found myself reading it on my own, without my child. Laura Ingalls Wilder has quite a talent in putting pictures down in words. Almanzo ... Read More
