Laura Ingalls

Pa and Mr. Edwards call me Half-Pint

About Me

My name is Laura Ingalls. I live in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. I live with my ma, my pa, my older sister Mary, and my younger sister Carrie. Pa likes to call me "Half-Pint" on account I'm so small and everything. But I can sure keep up with them boys at school. The other day I whooped all of 'em at running around the school house, but then Ms. Beedle rang the bell and we had to go inside and take a boring ol' test on multiplication tables.

My Interests

Fishing, looking for bull frogs... Last spring, I caught myself the biggest, meanest lookin' bull frog this side of Minnesota! Boy, he sure was angry when I caught him. Pa told me to let him go after my dog Bandit chased him into the barn and scared the horses.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet my ol' dog Jack again. Pa says that he's in heaven, and that one day we'll all see him again. I can't wait to show him the new dress ma made me.

Music:

Mr. Edwards sure plays a harmonica something awful. I bet you he could be a singer in the county fair if he wanted.

Books:

Books are more of Mary's thing. I'd rather go outside and play then have my nose in some dumb ol' book.

Heroes:

My pa is the greatest man alive.
