I hate to create a new box for just one book, but The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion didn't really fit into any of the other categories even though it has both some crafts and recipes. It's designed to be read in conjunction with the "Little House" books and while you would be able to find most of this information elsewhere, finding a summary, in chapter order, in a book that's currently in print and so easy to find makes this volume a worthwhile add for a collection. For some reason LibGuide is not letting me edit the record to make the description similar to the other books. The long description autofilled from the publisher.

Thoughtful questions help the reader develop appreciation and understanding of Wilder's stories. Every aspiring adventurer will enjoy this walk alongside Laura from the big woods to the golden years.
