![]() Little House in the Big Woods written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Illustrated by Garth Williams takes place during the time of the 1870’s. The Ingalls family; Caroline, Charles, Mary, Laura and the baby Carrie are a tightknit family who live deep in the Wisconsin woods in a small log house. The story starts of with Laura describing her surrounding, and what life was like at home with her family. The novel is split up into 13 short chapters that inform us, the readers, of the country life, the type of weather, the food they eat, what the house is like, the celebrations they have and of course entertainment that happens in the woods. Throughout the novel, we are also able to understand the hardships and joys that come to the Ingalls family. I think this book is good to read to younger children, but could also be a really suitable as historical fiction story for fourth or fifth graders to read. This book would be fun as a unit lesson plan on historical fiction novels. Students could create their own stories based on their lives, or how they think their lives would be like in the 1870’s.
