(4) K-3 Illustrated by Peter Catalanotto. Thomas and his family wait anxiously for their postman father to finish making his rounds on horseback in the midst of a blinding snowstorm. He returns burning with fever, but by morning both the storm and his fever have broken. The story line feels too quick and pat to sustain the weight of its title. Catalanotto's illustrations vary widely in execution.
