Illustrated by
Amy Huntington.
A blizzard threatens to cancel the town's annual Carol Sing, "the best party of the season." It's up to Grandma, who runs a snowplow business, and grandson Billy to ensure that the show will go on. Humorous wintry illustrations match the text's (occasionally forced) down-home tone, but some scenes are difficult to interpret.
