Customer Reviews

Great Continuation!

During the first book, Caroline was portrayed as a little girl who tried desperately to help her mother all that she could after the death of her father. Now, Caroline's gained a little vibrance, as she still tries to help Mother, but also wants to have fine and pretty dresses, instead of the hand-me-downs from older sister Martha. I love this book through-and-through, and I'm sure that you will too!

Little Town at the Crossroads

The main idea is that Caroline Quiner, Laura Ingall's mother, has to move to a different house. Caroline was the main character. The story takes place at a frame house in Brookfield, WI from 1845-1846. I liked this book, because at the end of each chapter it gives you something to look forward to in the next chapter. There weren't too many things going on all at once and the book was focused on Caroline's family. It made me feel sad when they decided to move away and very excited when the parade and circus came to town. I recommend this book to girls who like the little house books.

one of the best childrens books ive read in a long time

turn back the time and enter into a world of long ago and see how people survied in day of old i have all th books that are out there so far and all of my grand children are taking turns reading my books its a nice way to spend time together

The little town of Brookfield grows

In this book, Brookfield grows into a regular town. The school is overcrowded, Caroline goes to a Maple Folice, and a circus comes to town. Caroline sees white bears at the circus! She never saw white bears before, and she thought she saw two white bears when it was really her brother and a friend in their underwear in a tree! Caroline and her family, at the end, had to move to a place called Concord...

Love it

I turn back the "time" and get totally absorbed in these books. For awhile forgetting about the fast pace of today.
