(3) K-3 Pushing on alone through a raging blizzard, barely able to stand, a boy struggles to reach the pole--the signpost for the school bus stop. There, his friends greet him with the joyful news that school has been canceled. This delightful tale's hyperbole is heightened by lively watercolor and pen illustrations of swirling snow and indistinct shapes.
