The indomitable Axle Annie is the best bus driver in Burskyville, tough enough to take on dreaded Tiger Hill in the deepest snow. But bus driver Shifty Rhodes, angry that they never get a snow day, plots against Annie by using a snowmaking machine. Vivid characters, rollicking language, and humorous illustrations make this story perfect for reading aloud on a wintry day.
