Farmer Boy

Before Laura Ingalls Wilder became the beloved heroine of the Little House books, there was another young pioneer boy growing up on a farm.

Farmer Boy tells the story of Almanzo Wilder and his childhood on a prosperous nineteenth-century farm in upstate New York. Through the changing seasons, Almanzo learns the meaning of hard work, responsibility, family, courage, and determination.

From planting and harvesting crops to caring for animals, preparing food, attending school, celebrating holidays, and dreaming of owning a farm of his own, Almanzo's days are filled with the sights, sounds, challenges, and simple pleasures of rural American life.

Rich in authentic details and warm family moments, Farmer Boy is a classic portrait of childhood, farming, and pioneer life in nineteenth-century America.

A timeless choice for readers who enjoy classic children's literature, historical fiction, pioneer stories, farm life, family adventures, and stories of growing up in rural America.
