Who doesn't love Laura Wilder? These classics are getting harder to find in paperback. This is a Scholastic 1968 version.
How Laura and her family survived the big snow that lasted from October to May...
This is a long book, not as enjoyable as the others in the series. It gets long when reading it aloud.
Another in the "Little House" series and each as wonderful. The Ingalls famnily moves in to town due to the blizzards and they try to survive a very hard winter. They town survives due to the Wilder brothers that came from Malone, NY. The stories show that it was not easy trying to survive that harsh winter. It makes you appreciate your ancestors knowing that life was tough and so much hard work. The "Little House" series is so wonderful and the Ingalls family had so many great things going on in their family even though trying to meet their daily needs was such hard work. Everyone should read this.
