Trivia Tuesday: Farmer Boy

Posted by Carly H. on October 20, 2009 1:12 PM in Trivia

I don't think it would come as a shock to any Ink Splot 26 readers that I love the Little House series. I list it as one of my favorite books and way back when, I wrote a blog entry asking the character/author Laura Ingalls Wilder three questions (three questions that will never be answered that is, because she lived from 1867 to 1957).

And, you should know I loved horses growing up because of my FIVE listing of the greatest horse books of all time (IMHO*).

Which is all just a long way of saying that my 4^th-grade self would have been all over this week’s trivia question on Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder:

What is the name of the colt that Almanzo gets at the end of the book?

Happy guessing! Check back next Tuesday for the answer.

I Think that we should not have school year round. It is already enough sitting in a desk for 7 hours. Why would they do that

I think that they should not make school days longer. I think that we already have enough stuff to do after school why make the days longer?

I read this book a while ago, but I don't think I ever finished it. It was just about the most boring thing I've ever read. I don't know why. It just didn't grab my attention. I'm not a horse lover, and even though I love history, this just....was...idk. Just no.
