I think this book is exciting because new things are always happening. This book always leaves you wondering what will happen next. This book is very funny because Laura is always getting into mischief and having all sorts of fun. When Laura will not listen to Pa and goes on the hay bale, it will make you laugh.
I recommend this book for 9-11 year old kids who like stories from the old fashioned days with lots of creative words but still like some pictures in the chapter books that they read. Go get On the Banks of Plum Creek and start reading!
