When my dad was
little his favorite book was Katy and the Big Snow, by Virginia Lee Burton. He read it to me when I was
little and now I can read it by myself. It is about Katy the big red tractor.
She does lots of work for the city of Geoppolis. One winter there is a big snow
and all the other tractors can't plow the snow. Katy had to go around the whole
city and dig out everyone who was stuck. The Police station so they could
protect the city. The post office so they could deliver the mail. The railroad station
so people could get on and off the trains. The utility companies so there would
lights, gas, and water. The fire department because there was a house on fire
and Katy saves the day. The airport so the airplanes could land, and all the
streets in the city so people could get around. I like Katy because it's a fun
story and it shows that it's good to help people.

This is one of our
favorite books when we were little too. In fact we read it to our
grandchildren. Thanks so much for
sharing this special book with us. Thinking of all the snow in Geoppolis made us
feel cooler on this hot summer day. Watch
for a reading reward coming your way.
Keep reading and we’ll see you in just a few short weeks!
