Blizzard by John Rocco
3.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade

A pretty typical winter story with fine illustrations, a fold out spread with a track map, and the most ingenious end note. Rocco explains that he was there during the Blizzard of '78 that buried his family and neighbors under forty inches of snow--which is four times the height of the book. I love that kids can get a visual for the snowfall by using the book as a measuring device. Brilliant!
