Katy the Snowplow was always waiting for her big chance to help. But with winters that usually didn't hold a lot of snow, Katy didn't have much opportunity to shine. Then a blizzard blankets the city and everyone is relying on Katy for help digging out. Children love Katy's shining moment of glory and will inevitably admire her "chug, chug, chug" endurance. This tale from the Caldecott Medal winner Virginia Lee Burton, now with festive seasonal stickers, is an enduring winter favorite.
