Farmer Boy

The second of the Little House books series.
Growing up on his family's farm in New York, Almanzo Wilder wishes for just one thing — his very own horse. But Father doesn't yet trust him with such a big responsibility. Almanzo needs to prove himself — but how?
Farmer Boy follows the story of Laura Ingalls Wilder's future husband as a boy. Even though very young, he has to help on the farm and occasionally gets to go to school.
