The Long WinterRead about another entry on the list.
by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Amid howling winds, freezing temperatures, and blizzard after brutal blizzard, the Little House family -- hunkered down in one room with dwindling supplies of food and fuel -- persevere with a little help from Pa's fiddle, Ma's improvisational cooking, and a lot of hope. Ages 8 and up, and perfect for a family read-aloud.
The Long Winter is among Whitney Collins' five top books for whiny kids.
