The third book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series—now available as an ebook! This digital version features Garth Williams’s classic illustrations, which appear in vibrant full color on a full-color device and in rich black-and-white on all other devices.

The adventures continue for Laura Ingalls and her family as they leave their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and set out for the big skies of the Kansas Territory. They travel for many days in their covered wagon until they find the best spot to build their house. Soon they are planting and plowing, hunting wild ducks and turkeys, and gathering grass for their cows. Just when they begin to feel settled, they are caught in the middle of a dangerous conflict.

The nine Little House books are inspired by Laura’s own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America’s frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.

Are you always helping picky eaters in your home? Is meal-time always a battle? Let the Dinner Fairy cast a spell on your kids so they don’t run the risk of Growing Down Instead of Up!

Emerson and Griffin hate dinner – they are fussy eaters that have much more fun away from the table. They’ll never eat their food despite Mom and Dad telling them how important it is to help them grow big and strong.

That’s until they receive a mysterious visit from the Dinner Fairy, who warns them:

“Little ones need food to grow and milk to drink from cups.
For every meal you DON’T eat well, you’ll grow DOWN instead of UP!”

Not convinced, they test her theory with disastrous results. What has the Dinner Fairy done and can they work out how to get themselves back to their real size?

Author Adrienne Rogers has turned her dinner time frustrations into a beautiful and hilarious rhyming picture book perfect for helping picky eaters consider being brave with food. Growing Down Instead of Up stands nicely alongside iconic books for picky eaters like Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and bestseller My Magical Foods by Becky Cummings, with its different approach to helping fussy eaters.

Trying new foods and encouraging healthy eating for kids with a “I choose to try again” attitude is important in every home. So read Growing Down Instead of Up and bring peace and healthy eating to your dinner table.
