From the publisher
From shearing sheep and milking cows to training young calves, Almanzo Wilder worked very hard on his family’s farm in New York. But when his chores were all done, Almanzo could go to his favorite place in the whole world – the Horse-Barn. Although his father wouldn’t let him handle the frisky colts, Almanzo could still look at them and dream of one day having a horse all his own!These gentle adaptions from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s original “Little House” books capture the spirit of this beloved pioneer girl and invite beginning chapter-book readers into the magical world of Little House. This glimpse into America’s frontier past brings Laura’s cherished stories to a whole new generation of young readers.
