The Little House Trivia Book

Q: What does Ma use to curl Laura and Mary's hair before they go to town? A: Rags. This factoid and the more than 100 other tidbits of information in The Little House Trivia Book, edited by Diane Boyd Stensrud, will challenge fans' knowledge of all nine of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. Two questions appear on a index-card-sized page, their answers on the reverse side. Spiral-bound with a wraparound cover, it features many of Garth Williams's original illustrations.
