Customer Reviews:
Very disappointed........2005-10-26
As avid Scottish Terrier owners, my wife and I were very excited to receive this book.
Unfortunately, the shipping was delayed and when it finally arrived it appeared to be more of a desk top publishing exercise
than a real "book".
There's nothing new in the text and when we e-mailed the support team with a question, contrary to the text in the book, we DID NOT receive a prompt answer. In fact, after three emails we have given up hope of ever getting an answer from Ms. Terri Sprinkle or her staff. We expected more. Especially considering the price.

Product Description
Carry along book and cassette. An old favorite, ages 3-8
Amazon.com
This old-fashioned tale about one little snowplow's determination in the face of a small-town blizzard has all the charm and moral grit of The Little Engine That Could. This isn't surprising, considering that Caldecott Medal-winning author Virginia Lee Burton (The Little House) specializes in bringing the inanimate to life with endearing illustrations and stories of fortitude and vulnerability. Katy, a red crawler tractor, "could do a lot of things," Burton explains early on. In the summer she is a bulldozer, helping to build and repair roads in the city of Geoppolis. In the winter, she turns into a snowplow, waiting and waiting for her chance to be useful. Most of the winters, though, the snowfalls are mild and the town doesn't need Katy. But when the big one finally hits, the town is buried in page after page of powder. The power lines are down. The doctor can't get his patient to the hospital. The fire department can't reach a burning house! "Everyone and everything was stopped but... KATY!" Suddenly, the entire community is dependent on one little snowplow. Children love witnessing Katy's shining moment of glory and will inevitably admire her "chug, chug, chug" endurance. (Ages 4 and older) --Gail Hudson
Customer Reviews:
a story for generations ..........2007-02-09
As a little girl this was my favorite book. My parents read it to me over and over. My mom saved it all these years and recently first read it to my 3 1/2 yr old nephew. He now shares my love of this story and asks Grandpa to read it to him all the time.
The story is very well written and illustrations are wonderful for little kids to follow along with.
Katy Will Not Stop!.......2006-11-24
Katy is a municipal snow plow serving a small village who is hit by a massive snow storm. Adults who think it silly that machines are made to behave like people in picture books should remember the little engine that could. Katy has no doubt that she can tackle any snow, and when a massive snow storm hits, she is called to duty. The firemen, the police, the doctors, the postmaster, and others all cry out for help from Katy. When Katy began to tire, she pressed on - she wouldn't stop. She is the heroine who saves the village.
What makes this book more than interesting is that the author is also the illustrator, which means that there is thought behind these illustrations that they should intertwine with the dramatic plot of the text. Each illustration shows the trails plowed through the snow by Katy. With each progressive illustration, the trails become more numerous and complex to where they begin to look like maps. These illustrations partner nicley with the text to produce an emerging cadence in the dialogue.
Our favorite Virginia Lee Burton Book!.......2006-03-29
We love this book, it's our absolute favorite Virginia Lee Burton book. My children always seem inspired and excited by the story of the snow plow that nothing could stop!
As always, her illustrations are marvelous (and with the more modern bright colors, it's nice to let your children enjoy the black and white palette), and the story of not giving up is a great message for children. It also makes those winter days when it seems like you'll never get out a little more hopeful.
Classic children's tale.......2006-03-16
This is of course by the same author as "Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel," and just as delightful. Appeals to girls and boys alike, and as your child grows, (s)he will find more and more in the book -- maps of the town, buildings' names, names of machine parts, and more. Strongly recommended, even for those unfamiliar with "Mike Mulligan."
Not Burton's Best - a review of "Katy and the Big Snow".......2006-01-25
I have to agree with the other 3-Star Reviewer. This is not one of Burton's best books. My children (boy and girl; almost 4 and 6) didn't care much for it. There is none of the usual clamoring for another read.
And as the other Reviewer noted, there is a lack of 'personification' for Katy. Her character just doesn't seem as rich as some of Ms. Burton's other equipment (or buildings-lol).
And plowing, followed by more plowing, is just not all that interesting even if it is helping a doctor and a mailman.
Three Stars. If you already have Ms. Burton's other books and like them, take a chance on this book. But if you are looking for a Burton-first story, try another like "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" or even "The Little House."

Great Book.......2003-04-09
Fantastic reference. Great details and info. I wish he would write one on International Harvester.
A Good Reference for any machinery enthusiast........2001-03-28
I foung this book to be a very good reference for Allis Chamblers construction equiptment. While it contains little information on the AC farm tractors, this book covers nearly all of their construction equiptment. There are individual chapters for each type of equiptment, witha thoughle history of each modle. At the end of each chapter there are detailed specification sheets, as well as an apendix of serial numbers and years, so you can pinpoint your tractor's date of manufacture. The book goes gives a good history of the original company, as well as somewhat of a history of the major companies that AC bought, such as BUDA. The book also contains information on models of equiptment continued on into Fiat-Allis, such as the FA HD-31. The book covers all eqiptment, from the first early Monarch crawlers, all the way up to the giagantic HD-41's. There are chapters on industrial eqipyment, such as forklifts, and small crawlers, also inclued. If this author were to write another book like this, I would be first in line to buy it.

Outstanding and inspiring references to great roses.......2004-09-20
This is, in its organization, a dictionary of roses. Look up any rose by name -- you need know nothing more than that -- and you'll find a brief of the rose's attributes. If you don't find the name in the dictionary, check the fine index, which includes the alternate names under which a rose may be known. Many, but not all, roses are also shown in a serviceable photograph. Some photos run to the small side, but the descriptions ably pick up the slack.
Interestingly, a number of the roses listed here are not included in the most recent American Rose Society Handbook to Selecting Roses. A number of beautiful, but not common, plants should receive a boost by their treatment in Botanica's Roses. And gardeners will receive a healthy shot of inspiration from the many descriptions and photos.
This is a small, but thick and very sturdy book. It bears up admirably under my hours of perusal and under the more than occasional frantic fumbling that ensues when I run across a rose I do not know. A great gift for a rose gardener or a very enjoyable, inexpensive, and useful treat for yourself.
Decent book.......2004-06-20
Decent book, good photos, easy to carry to a nursery. It is designed like a "dictionary" of roses. I like it better when they are organized by rose catagory ( old roses, hybrid tea etc) but this is a nice book none the less.
A rose by any other name..............2003-04-07
A beautifully illustrated and fact-filled book on the myriad of extraordinary rose cultivars. The book is a feast for the eyes and truthfully a bargain for it's price considering that most books cost more and do not even approach the detailed information and unbelievably beautiful photos of hundreds of cultivars. This book is replete with cultivars from landscape roses, hybrid teas, floribundas, miniatures, species roses, and even vines.
They are all covered and fully illustrated!!!! A true encyclopedia for the rose afficianado that one will enjoy looking at over and over again!!! It will help you find that perfect rose for your landscaping needs. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do. :-)
Nicely done.......2002-04-24
I was pleasantly surprised when I received this book. The pictures are nice and clear and seems organized well. Even though it has information about hundreds of roses, it seemed to missing a few of what I thought were fairly popular roses. All in all it's a good reference book for the beginner.
A Great Value.......2001-06-15
For a book to have as much color photography as this book does for under $... is truly amazing. I have done much of my rose garden by year of introduction and have found this book extremely useful. I do searches on internet sites or rose lists, and then locate the roses in this book to see what they look like, as well as other tidbits of information such as disease-resistance, repeat-bloom, hardiness etc. The book does include year of introduction in its summary, but lists the roses alphabetically so one can easily find them. I also noticed the index in the back of the book lists many roses by their synonym names which is helpful when another source you are working with calls the rose by a different name.
Very little information in terms of how to care for a rose exists in this book. You will have to purchase other books for that. There is only so much information one can pack into a book and still keep it portable!!
