None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books I prefer the Martha and Charlotte books. I don't enjoy the Caroline books as much because they are a bit uneven for me with some in the series being really good and others lacking. ( )

The story of Caroline and Charles' courtship. A children's book, but still a read for those of us that have read the Little House books. I probably would have given it more stars if I'd been a child reading it, but as an adult I was probably expecting more than I ought to have expected. I also thought that the title made it sound as if more of the early days of their marriage would be the topic but it really was a case of 'The Events Leading Up to Getting A Little House of Their Own'

Nonetheless, it's a quick, pleasant read. ( )

This is the Story about Laura’s Mother, Caroline Quinier, beginning to teach school for the first time. She deals with all the challenges of a new classroom while falling in love with Charles Ingalls, her neighbor. After refusing to travel across the county with him, he makes a farm for them on his parents’ property. ( )
