The Blizzard


This book is about a young boy who's birthday was on a snowy winter day. He had to go to school and his cousin's could not visit due to the weather. At school, the weather grew so bad that he had to take his entire class back to his house for warmth and shelter for the night. Here at his home he had a very much welcomed birthday party with all of his classmates, mother, father, sister, and teacher.

Betty Ren Wright's book, The Blizzard, is an excellent quick read aloud for children during the winter, especially during a snowy day or when the weather is bad outside. The illustration are great and shows how even the worst of days (or birthdays in this book's case) can become wonderful.
