Living in the mountains gives us a special appreciation of snowplows. Children love them! As you read The Little Snowplow, you will be reminded of the classic little blue engine who pulled the train over the mountains. None of the big trucks on the Mighty Mountain Road Crew believe the little snowplow will be able to clear a big snow. He knows he can with hard work and exercise. A great lesson for children who need to feel they can handle obstacles with confidence and effort. The wonderful illustrations make this a great book to share with or without snow!(Candlewick Press, $15.99)
