If I remember right, the illustration on the hard cover was in a box on the front and the rest of the cover was fabric-y.

I have one from our library sitting next to me, and the book jacket (which is wrapped in clear plastic and taped on) has the illustration, but when I peek under it, the book is plain.<br /><br />I don't remember what was in my school library.

I love the multiple-choice questions.<br /><br />Well done!<br /><br />I wish I had a copy of the set of Little House books that was in my school library when I was growing up. I have a set now that has the same illustrations on the paper covers, but they're not printed on the actual hardback covers like the ones from my school were.

Many of my answers were influenced by the books and TV, not Laura's real life. <br /><br />This show was such a huge part of my growing up years, and I loved the books.
