  <default_description>Frontier fun meets a home-spun touch in this heart-warming mixture of pioneer projects and wistful nostalgia. Jennifer Worick teaches readers how to sew a quilt, master the art of bread-and-butter pickles, speak old-time slang, and much much more. This is for the legions of Laura Ingalls Wilder fans who have dreamed of what a pioneer life out on the prairie would be like. Combining step-by-step how-to on crafts, with tongue-in-cheek instructions on prairie slang, winning a spelling bee, and singing a lullaby, The &lt;i&gt;Prairie Girl's Guide to Life&lt;/i&gt; allows fans to finally act out their childhood dreams or to simply enjoy the vicarious thrill of reading about it one more time. This is a book that will pull at the heart strings of every childhood Laura and also teach us a few prairie-time crafts along the way.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[ This book could have been so much more. The author isn't a farm girl or a modern girl, but a girl who grew up in the 70's down the road from her grandparents' farm and spends way too much time reminiscing about her 70's style ranch house and living room during those years.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a heart-warming pleasure to read!  Although the title leads you to believe it is merely a pioneer crafting book, it is actually full of anecdotes and history, the best parts of the book, in my opinion!  Some of the actual crafts, however, are a little over-ambitious.  The title and int...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52267032">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jennifer Worick is a prairie girl after my own heart. I love this book! I came across it by accident. It caught my eye for two reasons--first it had the word &quot;prairie&quot; in the title and as a life long admirer of Laura Ingalls Wilder, I notice that word.

    <body><![CDATA[It's like an activity book to do while you're not reading Little House on the Prairie with your tween daughter.  There were a few VERY old-fashioned ideas that I don't care to try.  Others sounded fun like making rock candy, sewing a sampler quilt (nine-block style), and and how to braid a rug.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a cute book... I read it more for the novelty than anything else...  Some of her projects might be fun to try, like making soap, but some, such as panning for gold, would have been better left out of the book.  All in all, 2 stars means I liked it, but it wasn't as great as it could have be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27189289">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty neat ideas, and some ideas really not worth listing as &quot;projects&quot;.  Tell a tall tale?  Come on now.  I just wish I was really good at making things just by reading instructions, and not having to see live examples.  Damn this need for visual instruction!  Why must you hold me back?!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought it was funny. PGGtL has some interesting little projects, along with tips, tricks, facts and memories.  I'm a little surprised that anyone thought this book misrepresented how in-depth it was supposed to be.  I think it's cute.  It makes me want to embroider fluffy towels.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Do you want a simpler life?  Would you like to know a few lost arts?  Or are you simply interested in knowing the secret to survival before the ready-made, the pre-processed, and the mass-produced?  I recommend a rocking chair, a glass of iced tea, and a Prairie Girl's Guide to Life.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm going to try to make rock candy from a recipe in this book.  Cute, I wish it would have been more in-depth.  Everything it &quot;teaches&quot; you to do is simplified.  Ah well.  It was okay. I thought of Mindy when I read it. I would recommend it to you. ]]></body>
