Our Big Snow and A Favorite Book

We just had a "Big Snow" event this week which was a lot of fun.  The boys loved it, even shoveling snow.  They had to take turns which was hard for my three year old.  

When we came in from the snow, I read one of our favorite books to them.  Katy and the Big Snow, by Virginia Lee Burton.  I love this book.  It was first published in 1943.  I love the vintage illustrations and the message.  Katy is a snow plow who works hard to plow the roads so that the city can function.  She has a good work ethic which makes for a great message for kids.  

My favorite line in the story is "Katy liked to work.  The harder and tougher the job the better she liked it."
