365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

The Long Winter
Brrr! Dakoata Territory winter smothers the countryside in snow. The Ingall's little town is bombarded by blizzards, which cut-off supplies crucial to their survival. Waiting for the snow to melt while watching the food stock dwindle to nearly nothing makes for a desperate Christmas season! Is hope lost? Not if Almonzo Wilder has anything to do with it. Our childhood friend from the New York farming community reappears on the scene, this time as a courages young man. Together with a friend, Almonzo rides a daring journey across the Winter-streaked plains to secure food for the starving town's folk. The atypical Christmas story sends readers on a suspense-packed ride through the midst of the blizzard and into the enveloping warmth of loving hearts.
