It is November and wow, winter came quickly this year. We’ve already had plenty of occasions to see snowplows on the road, so here are some books if you or your young patrons or students are interested in learning more:

Small Walt by Elizabeth Verdick (shout out to an MN author!) “Small Walt and his driver, Gus, take on a blizzard! All the bigger snowplows doubt that Walt has what it takes to plow the roads in the storm, but Walt is determined to prove them wrong.”

Katy and the Big Snow by Virginia Lee Burton “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.”

Good Morning, Snowplow! by Deborah Bruss “As the rest of the town settles into bed, one man, his dog, and a trusty snowplow get ready for a night’s work.”
