Billy, the main character, was having a birthday, but was sad his cousins & Aunt would not be able to come because of a raging snowstorm. He went to school, and during school the snow got so bad the teacher took all the students over to Billy's house since their parents were unable to pick them up because of the snowstorm. In the end, the students spent the day & night with him & his parents, and they had lots of fun together, making Billy forget about his cousins not coming over. A quick read that contained lovely illustrations of a major storm that hit when children were at school. Billy's house is the nearest to the school and thus the teacher wisely herded the children there. Disappointed that his cousins could not celebrate his birthday, his sadness was replaced with joy when his classmates were stranded at his house and they could celebrate with him. While I cannot highly recommend this one, I am noting that many children's illustrated books have a theme of snow. Henry is disappointed when he learns that his five cousins will be unable to attend his birthday party due to a snowstorm, but the family entertains unexpected guests when the one-room schoolhouse is snowed in and the only place close enough to walk is Henry's farm. Soon everyone is having a good time waiting out the storm and Henry realizes that having a December birthday can be all right after all. The illustrations by Ronald Himler are done in watercolor and gouache over pencil with indoor illustrations backed by warm yellow and oranges which evoke the warmth indoors and the outdoor illustrations have cool blue and white tones. The gentle story and illustrations would pair well with Nora's Ark for a rough weather oriented storytime for middle grade school students. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
