Snow Day!

"It's a snow day!" The schools are closed! Robby's sisters want to stay inside, and their parents are busy, but Robby and his dog Zippy know what to do: run and kick and lick and skid in the new snow. Their enthusiasm soon involves the whole family in a spirited snowball fight and a snug evening by the fire. Barbara M. Joosse's exuberant story and Jennifer Plecas's lively illustrations capture the pure fun of an unexpected winter holiday.

Snow Day

Literature & Fiction

Bt Bound

"Joosse uses dialogue to add spunk and freshness to a nicely textured narrative that sets up a familiar scenario: the loving relationship between a little girl and her dog, Nugget, is tested when Nugget comes across a bedraggled kitten, and the girl takes it in. Truesdell's illustrations, reminiscent of James Stevenson's, are a hoot, smoothly tempering the inherent sentimentality of the story with a broadly comic depiction of Nugget's vacillating emotions: curiosity, jealousy, dejection, and, finally, satisfied resignation as three individuals become a trio at last . . . . 'Ahhh.'"--ALA Booklist
