A Snow Day for Amos McGee
Philip C. Stead & Erin E. Stead

A story like a warm blanket. Perfect snow day book. What a lovely echo of the original - Sick Day for Amos McGee.

In front of her was quite a sight - a giant humpback whale!
"Oh yes!" cried Bea, "Please come with me! I need to use your tail!"

Diggers, Dozers & Dumpers
Ole Konnecke

Got a big machine lover? They will adore this.
Boyton-esque animals using all sorts of heavy machinery for useful and ridiculous purposes. Cute!
