down.
Snowplow starts to head for
town.
Wintry wind brings snowy
showers.
Trusty motor hums with power."
It's a publishing season for books about snowplows. First The Little Snowplow Wishes for Snow, and now this exciting errand completed with a young child in a car seat. Early morning shows the child and her father preparing for their trip: dressing warmly, eating breakfast, and quickly heading outside to get their day started.
The truck is ready, and off they go. The plow plows falling snow as they head toward town and the reason for their rush. From street to street they go, wipers wiping and truck humming with hard work. So much excitement to get where they are going!
"Pushing, mounding.
Whistling, howling.
Climbing, growling.
We plow with all our might!"
The storm is working as hard to fill the streets as the plow is working to clear them. A sudden lull in snowfall allows the two to make it to their destination on time. The train is pulling in, Mom is there with hugs. One race done, the trip home can now begin.
The snowy scenes show the beauty of the winter season, while also awakening memories of storms past. Contrasted with the falling snow and the chill of the slippery streets is the warmth of the early morning at home, the close quarters of the truck's interior and the hugs at the train station. The perspectives change often, and allow readers to see the action from different viewpoints. A snowy and entertaining tale.
