Katy and the Big Snow
by
Virginia Lee Burton.
This is an oldie but goodie (1943). I experienced this one as a book-on-tape plus book kit. I had it in my car and listened to it three times this week!
The unidentified narrator was very enthusiastic as Katy, the tractor that was a bulldozer in the summer and a snowplow in the winter. If you remember "Mike Mulligan and His Steamshovel" but not "Katy", then be sure to read the Katy book. It is a real treat. It is easy to see the similarity between Mary Anne and Katy and these two books. Mary Anne and Katy are two great heroines. If you can, introduce these books to your local Bob the Builder and Handy Manny fans.
Now is the right time to read this book as the snows start in Ohio.
