"It's a perfect book for revving up small helpers to pitch in with
the shoveling."--The Wall Street Journal
"Charming and endearing." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The grit of The Little Engine that Could, the nostalgic
illustrations of Katy and the Big Snow, and a touch of modernity from
an accomplished author and illustrator, combine to become Small Walt."
--School Library Journal
A tiny snowplow determined to prove his worth battles a blizzard in this
supremely charming story in the tradition of Mike Mulligan and His
Steam Shovel and The Little Engine that Could.
My name is Walt,
I plow and I salt.
They say I'm small,
but I'll show them all.
Small Walt and his driver, Gus, take on a blizzard! All the bigger
snowplows doubt that Walt has what it takes to plow the roads in the
storm, but Walt is determined to prove them wrong.
Brimming with onomatopoeia and Walt's affirming chants, this sweet
picture book shows that when it comes to strength, size doesn't matter.
Bestselling illustrator Marc Rosenthal's wintry scenes make this book
the perfect cozy read-aloud.
