Laura Ingalls and her family leave Wisconsin for Kansas, traveling by covered wagon before choosing a place to build a house. The new home brings daily work—farming, hunting, and gathering food—as well as room for Laura and her sister Mary to explore the surrounding hills. When conflict reaches the family, their settlement is put in question. The book draws on Wilder’s childhood and offers a family-centered account of pioneer life, with domestic routines and the demands of making a home shaping the narrative.

Book overview

Inspiration for the Netflix series Little House on the Prairie! Based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie is the third book in the award-winning Little House series, which has captivated generations of readers. This edition features the classic black-and-white artwork from Garth Williams.

Laura Ingalls and her family are heading to Kansas! Leaving behind their home in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, they travel by covered wagon until they find the perfect spot to build a little house on the prairie. Laura and her sister Mary love exploring the rolling hills around their new home, but the family must soon get to work, farming and hunting and gathering food for themselves and for their livestock. Just when the Ingalls family starts to settle into their new home, they find themselves caught in the middle of a conflict. Will they have to move again?

The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura's real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.
