Book Review: On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Genre: Historical Fiction

Ages: 9 and Up

            This is the fourth book in the Little House on the Prairie series, and I enjoyed it very much. Though I can’t say it’s my favorite so far. I am excited to read the next book in the series, By the Shores of Silver Lake. Readers of all ages would like this book!

About:
