Rezesion
Grade 4-7-- This biography of the quintessential pioneer girl who lived the "Little House" stories and later captured them for posterity
in her books is substantial in length and content. Like the subject's enduring series, it not only chronicles growing up on the frontier,
but also pictures a way of life that has long since vanished. Many more people and events from Wilder's childhood and mature years appear
here than in other juvenile accounts. Quotations from her works are woven into the text. Anderson brings credentials to the work, yet
falters when discussing Wilder's awards. He states that Little House in the Big Woods (1932) became a Newbery Honor Book, when, in fact,
On the Banks of Plum Creek (1937, both HarperCollins) was the first of the series so named. Compounding the error, he describes an Honor
Book as ``the most outstanding children's book of the year.'' These inaccuracies aside, Anderson's colorful and detailed biography should
prove popular with ``Little House'' devotees and students reporting on notable women or authors. Two sections of black-and-white
photographs are included.
