About the Author
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.

The joke's on jake0415; This is a delightful adaptation!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Going West (My First Little House) (Hardcover)
I hope the next time jake0415 posts a review for a title on Amazon.com that he actually posts it on the correct book! "Going West" is NOTHING like what is described in the above review. It is a sweet, touching adaptation of the "Little House" stories that chronicles the family's decision and quest to strike out west. Trust, faith and taking pleasure in the small things of life are all evident here and the illustrations couldn't be better!

This had to be a joke!,
This review is from: Going West (Library Binding)
If you ever have the chance to read this book you will be shocked, as I was, to read what appears to be the result of a dare. If there was a challenge to write a picture book about traveling West in pioneer days that would give any thinking child nightmares, this is the winning effort. People drink bad water, someone has a wooden leg as a result of a fight with a bear, people go off to hunt never to be seen again, Indians attack and leave skeletal remains....what was the publisher thinking?! I picked this up at a used book store because the illustrations are fantastic (Phillipe Dupasquier), but that is all this title has to offer.
