Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
Upon awakening to snowfall, four crocodiles prepare to spend the day sledding--until one remarks that they've all forgotten the matter of school. All four return to their homes, phone the "CROC-O NEWS," and--in an exquisite twist that truly surprises--identify themselves as "Principal Sam," "Principal Pam," etc., and declare a snow day. Nash's candy-colored illustrations perfectly capture the giddy mood.
