The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Evelyn with a sad face since this was such a sad book!


Laura helped Pa with the hay and then Pa needed another part for his mowing machine section. On the way back the went through the slough and got lost and saw the pretty horses.

It's called The Long Winter because there was lots and lots and lots of blizzards. Grace was in the rocking chair with her little coat on. Laura and Mary had coats on.

They had to eat potatoes and bread that Ma made. They didn't have enough to eat because the train didn't come because it froze-freezed-frozen!

This is the most exciting part. Pa went to town to get some kitchen supplies and food and an Indian went in. He pointed up 5 and 2. And he said "7 months blizzard."

Pa built a house in town.

Cap Garland was throwing a ball and Laura dropped her books and caught it. Almanzo cooks some pancakes. He made good pancakes-yes, he did!

The End
