This is another excellent book in the "Little House" series. You really need to read all of them in order. They do all stand alone as exceptional books but reading all of them in chronological order just makes them that much better. You become part of the story.
In this book they live in new territory where everyone leaves for the winter and they are left to house sit a beautiful surveyors cottage.
Coming from a warm part of the world, the children and I found the descriptions of winter life so interesting. We particularly wanted to try "skating" or make that sliding on the frozen lake in their shoes. Their encounter with the wolf makes it even more exciting.
This is another wonderful book in a series that will be loved by anyone who reads it!
