Ozarks Adventure Story,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Little Town in the Ozarks (Little House) (Paperback)
Little Town in the Ozarks is the fifth book in a series about Laura Ingalls Wilders daughter Rose. Rose has many fun, exciting, and scary adventures, such as getting Pneumonia and rolling down a hill in a barrel.One of my favorite characters, is Nate who lives on a farm with his older brother, Abe, Abes wife, Effie, and Effies twin babies, James and Elza. I like him because he is nice , like when Rose gets sick, he comes to see her a lot. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about 12 year old girls who have lots of adventures and who love to read. One adventure is when a tree falls on their henhouse, after a big ice storm, and makes a big hole that the chickens escape out of, and then they have to find all of the hens and roosters.

They just get better,
By "usarmy91" (Columbus, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Town in the Ozarks (Little House) (Paperback)
...I found this book quite enjoyable to read. Rose is growing up and I had a Feeling she would Fall in love with one of the Cooley boys. I was also delited to learn that Swiney had a real name.(Although it took some getting used to, I was used to knowing him as Swiney). I was also saddened when I read that Grandpa Wilder had died...
