The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder

ok this is kind of on me because I just saw “The World of Laura Ingalls Wilder” on the new books list and requested it because I loved those books and she's my problematic fave, but then when the book came in I was like “oh it's like.....literally the world?” Like literally Marta McDowell combed through all the books and found all the plants she mentioned and it's about those plants.

It's...an impressive work....of plants...but I don't like....care that much about plants, so I kind of heavy-skimmed this. There are a lot of great photos and illustrations, and it was kind of interesting?

Also the author seemed way hype about the ~sustainable lifestyle~ of the pioneers and made like, 1 throwaway mention of Native Americans, sooooo...not great. Last year's Annotated Pioneer Girl was much better about that I think.

Pick it up IF YOU LOVE PLANTS. Or if you're doing some kind of school project about plants.
