About This Book

When Daddy rides off on his horse in a terrible snow storm to deliver the mail, his family anxiously awaits his return. Young Thomas is sure that his daddy will come home and take him sledding after he completes his postal rounds, but the worst blizzard of the year is brewing outside, and the rest of the family is worried. "Why?" wonders Thomas. It's just some snow, and Daddy is strong. They wait, and wait. When Daddy finally returns, he's numb from the cold and gets sick. Soon, Thomas starts to worry too. Will Daddy be all right? But the next morning, Thomas knows everything is all right when he gets to take the longest sled ride he ever has!
