Excellent book review:
"This is a simple book, a very simple story. The person who wrote this story lived in this cabin at that time. It began in the forest and later on the prairie. It was a quiet and satisfied life. The work and harvest were also quiet and satisfied at that time. The happiness at that time was this fire like happiness..." - Mei Zihan

The fourth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series, and the recipient of a Newbery Honor features Garth Williams’s classic illustrations, which appear in vibrant full color on a full-color device and in rich black-and-white on all other devices.
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Here they settle in a new home made of sod beside the banks of Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds a wonderful new little house with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and her sister Mary go to school, help with the chores, and fish in the creek. At night everyone listens to the merry music of Pas fiddle. Misfortunes come in the form of a grasshopper plague and a terrible blizzard, but the pioneer family works hard together to overcome these challenges.
The nineLittle House books are inspired by Laura’s own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America’s frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.

Through the broad grassland, the family came to Meixi and lived in a cave.
The days near Meixi were fresh and exciting - the bull broke the roof of the earth hole, a strange animal near the deep pool would deform, Roland and Mary fell out with their fathers wheat straw pile, and soon they were called to school by their mother... As soon as they went to school, they met a dead enemy named Nani.
Dad planted a large wheat field by Meixi. He said that as long as the wheat harvest is good and the money is sold, they can have whatever they want. So he first borrowed money from others, built a beautiful new house, bought a new stove and two horses. But it didnt snow that winter. People said it was "locust day". What is locust day? What impact will it have on the wheat field? What changes will Rolands life bring? What new conflict will happen between Roland and Nini?
You will find the answer in Laura Ingalls Wilders by the plum river.

Laura Ingalls Wilder(1867-1957), an American writer of childrens literature, was born in a pioneer family in Wisconsin. From childhood, I followed my parents through the heart of the United States and migrated everywhere to seek a better life. She began to write childrens literature at the age of 65 and wrote her growth experience into a series of "stories of a cabin". Lauras "story of the cabin" is fascinating. It has been translated into various languages and published. It has become a classic of childrens literature read by several generations.
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described inLittle House in the Big Woods. As her classicLittle House books tell us, she and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. She and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books, and lived until she was ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little pioneer girl in the belovedLittle Housebooks.

The dim wagon track went no farther on the prairie, and Pa stopped the horses.
When the wagon wheels stopped turning, Jack dropped down in the shade between them. His belly sank on the grass and his front legs stretched out. His nose fitted in the furry hollow. All of him rested, except his ears.
All day long for many, many days, Jack had been trotting under the wagon. He had trotted all the way from the little log house in Indian Territory, across Kansas, across Missouri, across Iowa, and a long way into Minnesota. He had learned to take his rest whenever the wagon stopped.
In the wagon Laura jumped up, and so did Mary. Their legs were tired of not moving.
“This must be the place,” Pa said. “It’s half a mile up the creek from Nelson’s. We’ve come a good half-mile, and there’s the creek.”
Laura could not see a creek. She saw a grassy bank, and beyond it a line of willow- tree tops, waving in the gentle wind. Everywhere else the prairie grasses were rippling far away to the sky’s straight edge.
“Seems to be some kind of stable over there,” said Pa, looking around the edge of the canvas wagon-cover. “But where’s the house?”
Laura jumped inside her skin. A man was standing beside the horses. No one had been in sight anywhere, but suddenly that man was there. His hair was pale yellow, his round face was as red as an Indian’s, and his eyes were so pale that they looked like a mistake. Jack growled.
“Be still, Jack!” said Pa. He asked the man, “Are you Mr. Hanson?”
“Yah,” the man said.
Pa spoke slowly and loudly. “I heard you want to go west. You trade your place?”
The man looked slowly at the wagon. He looked at the mustangs, Pet and Patty. After a while he said again,“Yah.”
