Dear Reader,
Today I am in medieval Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany. Although I am just a short distance from Munich, where Oktoberfest is in full swing, we won’t be getting there on this trip. Just as well, perhaps, as we can enjoy this UNESCO site without the crowds!
Until next time, you can see my pix on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Laura Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) is the author of “The Little House” series of children’s books based on her pioneering childhood. At the end of the nineteenth century, traveling with all their possessions in a covered wagon, the Ingalls moved west from Wisconsin to Missouri, Kansas and Dakota. Although she didn’t start writing the books until she was 65 years old, the series is written in her voice as a girl of four through seven.
America’s Story: Laura Ingalls Wilder
“Imagine what it would have been like to be one of the early settlers of the American frontier, moving by covered wagon through wide, windy prairies. You can really get a sense of what it was like by reading one of the books in the Little House series.” This three-slide introduction to Laura Ingalls Wilder might be just what it takes to get your elementary-school student excited about reading a few of Wilder’s books.
