This book is one of the very first books I ever checked out of the library. I have reread the series many times and enjoy it each time. A highlight to my life was exploring the homestead in De Smet, SD while on a cross country move.

Such a thoughtful kit and to have it themed after the Little House in the Big Woods makes t even more special. I love the Little House on the Prairie books and remember reading my paperback copy of Little House in the Bog Woods until it fell apart! And I remember Laura's mom Caroline making Laura's rag doll Charlotte by hand and making the hair for the doll by knitting yarn and unraveling the yarn to give Charlotte her curly hair.
