Product Description:
For the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams’ interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as Pa, Ma, Laura, Mary, Carrie, and little Grace bravely face the hard winter of 1880-81 in their little house in the Dakota Territory. Blizzards cover the little town with snow, cutting off all supplies from the outside. Soon there is almost no food left, so young Almanzo Wilder and a friend make a dangerous trip across the prairie to find some wheat. Finally a joyous Christmas is celebrated in a very unusual way in this most exciting of all the Little House books.

Despite the idyllic cover, this is not a heartwarming story for kids. I love survival stories, and this is easily one of the more grueling ones I've read, even as an adult. A whole town starving and freezing, and freezing and starving. Apart from one act of courage (and luck), there's not much to take away from this tale except that freezing and starving is a hard way to go, and that the social safety nets that we take for granted are relatively recent creations. A good lesson in perspective, perhaps, ... Read More

This is my favorite of the Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. In most of the others, the Ingalls family is fairly isolated, trying to make it on its own. In this one, as in Little Town on the Prairie, we see the Ingalls interacting with a wider range of people. We also spend more time with Almanzo and Royal Wilder.
The Long Winter deals with a period of multiple blizzards, which leads to food shortages as the railroads are unable to continue running. It's interesting to see the ... Read More

In the short thirteen-years of her life, Laura Ingalls has seen a lot of tragedy and hardship. But now that her family has finally settled into De Smet, Laura believes things are looking up. They have a wonderful claim, where they reside in a claim shanty; they're close to town; and soon Laura and Carrie will be able to attend school. Laura can think of nothing to complain about except for the fact that Mary has lost her vision completely, and that, as a young lady, Laura is not longer permitted to indulge ... Read More

I liked "The Long Winter" because I liked the things Laura, Mary, Carrie and Grace did.
I didn't laugh as much as I did when reading the "Little House in the Big Woods". This book taught me about fall, spring and winter, but mostly about winter. There was maybe about 20 pages about spring.
In the winter they saw antelopes west of town, after they lived in the dugout, but only Mr. Foster got one.
This is a good book to read to learn about the whole country.

This was given as a present to the Mumbulla School for Stiner Education. All the girls and one boy who have read it so far have told me that they loved the book. They are also asking to hire the other books in the searies that they havent read yet.
Wonderfull for ages 8-12yrs.
