4.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book, February 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adventures of Laura & Jack (Little House Chapter Book) (Library Binding)

I read this book when I was nine or ten. Now I'm reading the Little House novels. But I still remember how much I loved the chapter books, especially this one. It tells about Laura Ingalls and her adventures with her dog, Jack. I got really sad when the family lost Jack while crossing a river on their way to Kansas, and they thought he had died. But I loved when that night, an animal came to where the Ingalls were. It had bright eyes, and they thought it was a wolf! It turned out that the "wolf" was Jack! He hadn't died after all! The book told of lots of other adventures Laura had with Jack. I recommend this book to girls seven to ten. If you read this book, I know you'll enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laura and Jack, The Best Book Ever!, November 24, 2008

A Kid's Review

The book is very interesting because it showed me what it was like back in the 1800s. There are a lot of great characters in this book. Their dog Jack has nice colors and he really listens to his owners. Laura takes good care of her dog Jack and she listens to her parents very well. I like how Laura and Jack play in the woods together. Laura and Jack are best friends. Ma takes good care of her kids and she showed her family how to make food. Pa plows the fields and he makes the money. The whole family works together. At the end of the book, the family finds a cozy home to live in.
