 Lawlor, Laurie. Addie Across the Prairie. Toronto: General Publishing Company, 1986. ISBN 0-8075-0165-4.
We use this book in Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development’s Where We Live: History of the Land curriculum. The author introduces us to prairie life, prairie plants and animals, challenges of the prairie, and uses of prairie resources through Addie’s adventures as a young pioneer girl moving across and living on the prairie. Help the students trace Addie’s journey from Sabula, Iowa, near the Mississippi River across northern Iowa to the Dakota Territory near Scotland, South Dakota. You can make this book come alive by taking your own field trip to a nearby prairie. Also talk to your county naturalists about prairies, the characteristics of prairie plants, how the pioneers used them, and what prairie fires are like. It’s a quick-read, exciting book for grades three through five.
