The plucky little hero of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Little Snowplow returns in a story about wishing, waiting, and the magic of a first snowfall.(goodreads summary)
The Little Snowplow loves helping his fellow road crew team on the Mighty Mountain. He digs, pulls and lifts all year but what he really loves is plowing snow. As each season arrives, he makes a wish for an upcoming snow filled winter. The Little Snowplow is concerned though that as winter passes there might not be any snow this year for him to plow.
I don't think we wished for snow here already in Wisconsin but we sure have had our early share these past three weeks! Anyway, this is a nice book for kids that love stories about machinery and construction trucks. It is a predictable story but kids will see humor in how The Little Snowplow and his friends come up with a creative and fun way to welcome winter. As the months go by with no snow in sight, Little Snowplow does a nice job waiting patiently for snow to arrive by keeping himself busy. Planning a snow birthday party is a great way to make up for the lack of snowy weather showing kids how to compromise. The illustrations are large and each truck is given a personality with happy faces. This is a cute and fun read for young kids who are definitely in a construction phase or love trucks. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
