If you have a child who loved The Little House books/TV series

Then please introduce them to Louisa May Alcott.

I think of all her books, Eight Cousins was my favorite.

Little Women is the most famous, but Little Men is just as good, in my opinion.

And if you have someone in your life who loved the Little House TV series, they will probably love this Little Men version on Prime.

There are two seasons, over 20 episodes, so it is more than a movie. And while old, well done for its time, very similar to the Little House feel.

When I think of asbestos, my mind goes to Almanzo Wilder, Laura's husband. Do you remember he sold asbestos mats/pads for people to use in their homes?

Almanzo, I believe he actually died of heart attack(s). I am not sure he had cancer or anything asbestos related. And if you are trying to remember what he and Laura had (when Rose was a baby) it was diphtheria, the D in DPT (diphtheria, pertussis/whopping cough and tetanus). He had lower body paralysis and weakness (I think for the rest of his life, to some extent) from the diptheria. And I think it was somewhere in that time frame (within a year maybe) that Laura gave birth to their son who only lived a short time.
