On the Banks of Plum Creek

Little House, Book 4

By: Laura Ingalls Wilder

Narrated by: Cherry Jones

Based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, On the Banks of Plum Creek is the fourth book in the award-winning Little House series, which has captivated generations of readers.

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota. They settle into a house made of sod on the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds them a sturdier house, with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and Mary go to school, help with the chores around the house, and fish in the creek. Pa’s fiddle lulls them all to sleep at the end of the day. But then disaster strikes—on top of a terrible blizzard, a grasshopper infestation devours their wheat crop. Now the family must work harder than ever to overcome these challenges.

The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family sticking together through thick and thin.

Best way to experience this book

We loved it! The music really brings it to life. We were glued to my phone.

Childhood Classic Comes to Life

Cherry Jones is absolutely fantastic in this series! With music from Pa's fiddle added in, this book is enjoyable for the whole family. My kids (4 year old boy and 6 year old girl) love the story and ask for "just one more chapter, please!" Highly recommend to listen with your family!

still a timeless classic

This series was a part of my childhood. My sister and I loved listening to our mom read these. I decided to introduce my girls 6 and 11 to the audio stories for long car rides. They LOVE them!!! Now everything we get in the car they get in the car they want to listen no matter how short the trip. Cherry does a beautiful job bringing the characters to life. An added bonus is the songs sung and fiddle music. It endears these stories to me all the more.

Excellent!

My son and I loved this story! So many memorable images, especially the grasshoppers- hard to imagine going through that.

Great!

This is awesome! The narrator is very bad and I wish I would have bought one not narrated by cherry jones. But we love the book! It is awesome!!!!!
