The snow is falling, crisp and white
But something's hiding out of sight . . .
When snow falls in the city, it leaves a peaceful blanket of white. But as the city starts to wake up, that white soon gets stomped and tromped all down. Join in the fun of a snowy day in the city, from snowball fights and snowmen to snow forts and sledding. But beware. City snow isn't as peaceful as it seems, and surprises wait at every turn!

Review
Snow days are a cherished part of every school kid's life. In Brooke Vitale's Slushy, Slurpy City Snow, we join two kids ready for a fun-filled day in the snow.
What makes Brooke Vitale's story different is that it focuses on enjoying a snow day in the city. The children must navigate the busy streets filled with traffic and people. Due to all the activity in the city, the nature of the snow changes quickly from pristine to gray to slushy brown. Vitale's rhymes flow effortlessly and make for a great read-aloud. David Hillman's illustrations are full of action, color, and detail. I love how they transition from the untouched snow-covered streets in the morning to the partially melted snow on the streets and piles of brown snow in the evening. Slushy, Slurpy City Snow will be welcomed by those experiencing a snow day or just hoping for a snow day soon!

David became a professional illustrator right after high school, working in such fields as comic books, storyboards, and licensing. But David's true calling was picture book illustration and writing, and he decided that was how he wanted to continue his creative journey.
David lives in NYC and enjoys sitting in the park with his lovey wife, Ann.
