Laura is a young pioneer wife now\, and must work hard with Almanzo\, farming the land around their home on the South Dakota prairie. Soon their baby daughter\, Rose\, is born\, and the young family must face the hardships and triumphs encountered by so many American pioneers. \n\n\n\nAnd so\, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s adventure as a little pioneer girl ends\, and her new life as a pioneer wife and mother begins. \n\n\n\nThe nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s 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. \n\n\n\nAge Range – 7 and up \n\n\n\n\n\nParental Guidance\n\n\n\nThe First Four Years is a classic that was published in 1971\, which means there are some cultural differences and dated concepts. The manuscript for this final book was found in Wilder’s daughter’s estate and is believed to be originally written around 1940. It was published with minimal editing. This book is more mature than the previous novels in the series\, causing some to question if it was intended to be the ninth book\, or its own stand-alone adult novel. Some things that may be challenging for young readers: \n\n\n\nNatural Disaster: Laura and Almanzo face several natural disasters in the first four years of their marriage. Their crops are destroyed by hailstorms and dry hot winds. Their home is burned down by a flash fire.Disease: Both Laura and Almanzo contract diphtheria. Almanzo is left permanently disabled.Child Loss: Laura’s second\, unnamed\, child dies a few weeks after his birth.\n\n\n\nWe will discuss these topics with care. \n\n\n\nThere may also be some challenging vocabulary that we discuss together in the Club; readers are encouraged to bring up vocabulary words for discussion in our time together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReading Schedule\n\n\n\nWeek 1: Discussion – Chapters 1-2Week 2: Discussion – Chapters 3-4\n\n\n\n\n\nHow To Begin\n\n\n\nIt’s easy!
