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."
From the Publisher:
“In the winter of 1856, a storm delays the lighthouse keeper’s return to an island off the coast of Maine, and his daughter Abbie must keep the lights burning by herself.”
A war-torn World War I soldier hears the doctors give up hope for his recovery. He has a feeling that if he could live by the sea, get plenty of fresh air, exercise and sunshine, that he would begin to heal. So one day he slips out of the government hospital, and tottering toward the sea, he starts out weak and penniless on his Great Adventure.
Jake’s plane went down in the vast tundra of Keewatin, a region of the Arctic named for the brutal north wind that blows across it. Now he must walk thirty miles to the nearest settlement, and a massive snow bear is following him. If the bear doesn’t get him, the wolves might, or hunger, fatigue, or the bitter cold. Jake faces the very real possibility that he will not make it. And always behind him is the bear.
