Today we begin to read
Little House in the Big Woods.
This is the first book of the Little House series.
The book is full of tales of 5 year old Laura as she lives in a cabin
in the woods of Wisconsin.
Today, the little house has been rebuilt so you can have a look at what it might have
been like for Laura, Mary, Baby Carrie, Ma and Pa to have lived there.
The woods is gone for the most part, but you can get an idea of what it might have been like.
Watch this video.

Life back in those days was a hard life.

Do you think you would have wanted to live with Laura and her family?
