(3) PS Illustrated by Lou Fancher & Steve Johnson. A snowplow and its driver begin their work as snow starts falling. All through the night and through the town they continue their important work clearing the roads. Along the way, a car spins out and needs towing, a train goes by, and the driver must stay alert and awake. The mixed-media illustrations beautifully capture the snowy silence evoked in the rhyming text.

(3) PS Illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke. When the farmyard animals need a diversion, they wander into town and discover the library. None of them can make themselves understood by the librarian--until the hen enters and clucks, "Book! Book! BOOK!" Soft, naive watercolor paintings illustrate the satisfying story, which, with its witty conclusion, will be a sure winner at story time.
