The Langford Family Homeschool: Little House in the Big Woods, Chapter 1 -3 by Noah

Little House in the Big Woods was written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In the story Laura's family lives in the Big Woods. She lives in a log house with her mom and dad. She calls them Ma and Pa. She has two sisters, an older sister Mary and a younger sister, Carrie. Laura is the middle child. Laura's favorite thing is when her Pa tells stories and plays the fiddle. Her Pa cut up a pig and blew up the bladder and tied it, so it was like a balloon but it was a bladder. They also ate the pig's tail. They smoked the meat inside a hollow log and then they stored it away for the winter. Pa told Mary and Laura a story about their grandpa in the Big Woods without his gun. Their grandpa was riding home on his horse and a black panther was chasing him. He made it just in time to his house. He ran inside and grabbed his gun but the panther jumped on his horses back, so he shot him. Laura Ingalls was a real person who wrote about her life in Wisconsin in this book. She wrote other books about her life too. I really like this book. I like Mommy reading it to us and learning about Laura and what it was like to live a long time ago. I don't think I would like living back then, but I do like the story. I really like that Pa got to ride horses and live in the woods and I like Jack their bulldog.
