[.ca] Little House in Brookfield (ISBN 0061148210)

Rather forgetable:
While I would recommend this book to Little House junkies, it is not at all up to the quality of Laura Ingalls Wilder or MacBride's books. The author wrote this series based on information included in a few letters, and this is entirely apparent in the characterisation and feel of the series. That being said, if you've finished the current book in the Rose series and are desperate for more you will want to read it anyway.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's Mother:
Imagine getting up every morning at the crack of dawn to a day full of chores and work. This is the life that Caroline Quiner knows. She is in charge of checking to see if the corn is ripe, feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, working on her sampler, and many other jobs. Although her life is full of hard work, she and her siblings Martha, Henry, Joseph, and Eliza still manage to have fun. They love playing games outside, especialy fox and geese, which they play in the snow. Snow, however, is just the thing the Quiners are dreading. Many of their vetables were killed by an early frost, and their isn't much flour left in the house.The Quiners are determined to survive the winter though, and nothing is going to get them down! I enjoyed reading this book because it was realistic and the description was great. It was interesting to read about Laura Ingalls Wilder's mother. If I could change one thing from the book, it would be to make it longer!

I love all the Little House books:
This is a wonderful story about Caroline Quiner--Laura's ma. Starting in her young childhood, it offers an absorbing and substantial but child's-eye view of what being poor and without your father is like: lonliness, fear, patched clothing, cornmeal pudding for breakfast, penny-pinching. But there is also joy and hope, and the close-knit family laughs and loves as they raise crops and take care of their hens and hogs. I loved it!

Hay, Thats Where I Live:
I really liked this book because I am a historical book frek, Ilike the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, It is enterasting to read aboutLaura`s ma when she was little, and I likes this book most of allbecause I live where the books takes place Ya in Brookfield, Wisconson.

Caroline is a lot like Laura:
Caroline showed a lot of heart with her sister like Laura did with Mary when they grew up. I like the way Caroline, like Laura, took charge. These books, like the ones that are about Laura make the country side come to life. The travel and the covered wagons are made to sound like a lot of fun.
