Farmer Boy By Laura Wilder: Almanzo Wilder

Farmer Boy by Laura Wilder explains the life of Almanzo Wilder as a young boy. I personally enjoyed the book because it was interesting to learn about a child’s life back in the day. The author was descriptive when talking about the chores and lifestyle Almanzo had. Laura Wilder went into depth about each person involved in his life. Including his mom, dad, sisters, and brothers. Although at times it was hard to follow what was exactly happening in the book. I felt like the book jumped around a lot because each chapter was a different event that happened throughout the year. I didn’t know when the events occurred so at times it was confusing. In addition, the book was older so it was hard to make connections with the book and my everyday life.
