CURRICULUM FOR CHAPTER BOOK: The Ingalls have traveled across the wide prairie and have sold their horses and wagon cover for a cozy little dugout near the banks of a creek. Laura's has so much new to explore. There is the creek itself, new and strange animals, and even school! There are also new problems that Laura and her family must face. Grasshoppers devour their crops, Nellie Olsen's antics, and blizzards that creep up on the family.
