Laura's Album: A Remembrance Scrapbook of Laura Ingalls Wilder

WOW. The pictures were fantastic!! Makes you want to jump right back into history so that you could meet Laura and her family. Lovely illustrations and the layout was a joy to the eye!! Little House fans....if you cannot get to the museum in the USA...get this book...heck.....get it anyhow.

Looking for new ideas for my grandmother's scrapbook, I wanted to see how this unique author has been represented in scrapbook form. It is interesting to see this outstanding format and along with the story, pictures and mememotos from her life! I like the way the narrative was presented to match the photos and other notes and articles about Laura's life. Shown were the rara ambrotypes of the Civil War era. I also have the similar ambrotypes but did not know what they were named!

This book is great...very educational as well as simply fun to look at. The scrapbook format is timely and appealing.

I highly recommend that book to all Laura Ingalls Wilder fans. You will find pictures of the Ingalls family, Manly and Laura ,even of Nellie Owens (AKA Nellie OLeson) and much more. In my opinion this is one of the best I bought about her.

I realize of course there was text, written superbly by William Anderson. The treat here, though, is the color photographs of artifacts from the museums. For anyone disappointed in the poorly reproduced b & w photos from West from Home and On the Way Home, you are in for a treat. But as a Laura-junkie, I'd shave a 1/2 a star off as I wanted more, more, more!
