Um, I don't have much to say. Nothing excessively bad happened in this book, because they were well-prepared and the winter wasn't that hard. I like to read about all the food that Ma makes; it makes me hungry sometimes. When Laura gets older, I think she will have to help in the kitchen. I, personally, love to help my mom in the kitchen. I feel like, I lived when Laura did, my family would be vegetarians, because I don't think me or my mom would be able to prepare the meat. My dad probably couldn't because he would be busy getting the meat. Sometimes, I think it would just be easier for everyone if we just all live in simper times. I also like it when little Laura describes the pretty dresses. When does Mary become blind? I feel mean because that's all I really want to know right now. I think that Cousin Charley deserved to be stung by the bees or yellow jackets. He's the boy who cried wolf in this book.
