The Sacramento Public Library used 3M as one of their partners in digital books. I have the 3M app on my Ipad and used the category search features to find what children’s ebooks they had available to check out. When I saw the book on Mrs. Wilder I wanted to read it, as I loved the show Little House on the Prairie when I was a child.

Annotation: The real life story of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House books.
Summary: This book traces the complete life of Laura Ingalls
Wilder from birth to death. It
highlights all of the various homes and jobs she had as her father and then
husband traveled West as homesteaders, until she ultimately settled in Missouri
and wrote her Little House books
Evaluation: This is a good book for
kids in elementary school looking to learn about the celebrated author Laura Ingalls
Wilder. It is not as thorough as some
books about Mrs. Wilder written for adults, but it is perfect for the young
reader. While this ebook has no frills,
it is just a straight digitized version of the print book it does have a good account
of information and 80 maps and illustrations.
The book also includes a very helpful timeline of Mrs. Wilder’s life,
boxes calling out specific terms from the period and bibliographical references. This would be a very helpful book for a
student doing a report on Mrs. Wilder on on the pioneer era in The United States.
Similar Titles or Authors:
Any
of the books in Wilder’s Little House series would be a good compliment to this
biography.
