Laura Ingalls Wilder impact

Ms. Laura Ingalls Wilder did not begin writing her first book, little house in the big woods, until 1931 and it was released the following year. The instant success of the book led to the little house series, which became popular with young readers. Laura Ingalls Wilder took great care with each book to make sure that the point of view was consistently from that of a child. All except farmer boy were Newberry honor books and the entire series was reprinted in 1953.
