When a blizzard hits during the week before Christmas, Betsy and her family are snowbound for days -- along with three travelers whose car broke down nearby. Nine-year-old Betsy and her little sister Star share adventures with their young guests, Susan and Neddie Byrd, including the bungled rescue of a real bird, an unsuccessful shot at making popcorn in the fireplace, and more! Despite the decades that have passed since this book's initial publication, children will enjoy reading about Betsy and her family -- stories guaranteed to remain classics.
