The storm covered the town with snowdrifts and everything stopped. Cars could not drive on roads, trains could not travel on tracks, boats could not sail in the harbor. While the children build snowmen and have snowball fights, the adults drive snowplows, blow snow off airport runways, mount plows on the front of train engines, and maneuver icebreaker ships through the water. There is much to do before people can return to work, before the stores can open again, before the children can go back to school once again.
This non-fiction book introduces young readers to the involved process of digging out and returning to “normal” in the aftermath of a large snowfall. Colorful and truly representative of the actual aftermath of a snowstorm, the illustrations show the various equipment and describe the process of dealing with snow after a blizzard.
The realistic portrayal of the work involved will help young readers [second and third graders] understand what a blizzard means for those who must dig the town out of the snow so that people can move and businesses can open. It’s also an eye-opening look at snow for young readers who live where snowstorms are not part of their winter experiences.
Highly recommended. ( )
