Description

Katy, a brave and untiring tractor, who pushes a bulldozer in the summer and a snowplow in the winter, makes it possible for the townspeople to do their jobs. In 2009, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Virginia Lee Burton's birth. As part of this celebration a glitter-cover edition of Katy and the Big Snow, complete with snowy stickers, has been created. In this enduring winter favorite from the Caldecott Medal–winner Burton, Katy the snowplow finally gets her chance to shine when a blizzard blankets the city and everyone is relying on Katy to help dig out. This new paperback is perfect for gift giving. Children love sharing Katy’s shining moment of glory and will inevitably admire her “chug, chug, chug” endurance. Read more

Classic artwork and patterns make this one really interesting.

My child loves this one! It's a classic for sure. I appreciated the patterns and classic artwork and she did also. This book is a eat seller for a reason!

Another great by Burton
Format: Paperback
Virginia Lee Burton was a gift to the world. Her writing (indeed her personality I'm sure) is warm, sincere, and hopeful. As the characters in her stories come upon hard times, they never give up hope and never lose their positive hard-working attitude. Virginia Lee Burton's characters are long-suffering and gentle, enthusiastic and generous, and in Katy and the Big Snow, we are introduced to an unforgettably doughty protagonist willing to put everything she has on the line to help friends in need. The snow plow Katy is not just a snow plow. She also lends the help of her horsepower wherever and however it is needed. She is portrayed as a bulldozer and a hauler car that helps to save the waterlogged automotive machinery. In the winter, Katy is converted to a snow plow and clears the roads. When a snow storm sweeps across Geoppolis, it is up to Katy to save the day. Katy the snow plow emerges as the last vehicle standing that might still have a chance of braving the piled-up drifts to clear the roads for emergency personnel to use. As the urgent requests for assistance mount up and begin to take their toll on Katy, the steadfast snow plow refuses to turn her back on those for whom she is the last hope of rescue. The night wears on and Katy continues to plow road after road after road. I really like this story. More importantly, my son enjoys it too. Burton does things differently than other creators of picture books, for example, in the middle of the book is a full two-page spread devoted to a coded map of Geoppolis, complete with a numbered key chart so readers can find exactly where everything is located in the small city. I also love how Virginia Lee Burton is able to convincingly ascribe traits of inner strength and courage to a snow plow. It has been seventy years since this book was first published, and it is still being published and enjoyed by children today. I'd like to think it will still be that way for my son's children. Bonus: My son loves that the book includes stickers that he loves putting on his hands or using them to decorate our fridge. ... show more

Great story get the full picture book not board book
This is a great book. A bit long for a board book, I think it would be best fit in the full picture book format. My 2 year old does fine with it but would be too long for a younger listener to sit through. The story is nice, the illustrations are engaging and I love that it is a transportation themed book where the vehicle is female! Great addition for any transportation obsessed kiddos. ... show more
