On the Banks of Plum Creek

For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this edition features Garth Williams’ interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.

The family's first home in Minnesota was made of sod. But Pa builds a clean new house beside Plum Creek. The money for materials will come from their first wheat harvest. Then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Soon millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm. In a week's time, there is no wheat crop left at all.
