Snow Day! (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781561454181)

Everyone loves a snow day! Award-winning author Lester L. Laminack provides a clever take on a familiar childhood wish. An unexpected twist is sure to surprise and delight young readers.

When the weatherman predicts a big snowfall, it's hard not to imagine the fun-filled adventures of an unscheduled school holiday! You can build snowmen, go sledding, have snowball fights--the possibilities are endless.

Except when the family wakes up that next morning, they find no snow! School is happening, and all their dreams of a winter wonderland are gone. But as the family piles into the car to head to school, an unexpected twist reveals who wanted the snow day most of all.

Adam Gustavson's expressive illustrations comically capture the excitement of pure possibility in author Lester L. Laminack's thoroughly original tale.
