Katy was a beautiful red crawler tractor. She was very big and very strong, and she could do a lot of things. Katy had a bulldozer to push dirt around with. Katy also had a snow plow to plow snow with. Katy belonged to the Highway Department of the City of Geoppolis. The Highway Department repaired the roads in the summer and kept them clear of snow in the winter so traffic could run in and out and around the city. - p. [1-5].

We read this one within our “Mike Mulligan and More” Storybook Treasury, although I wouldn't mind adding the individual book to our shelf someday. Katy is a very neat read. First recommended to me through P3/4 and then again through AOY0 we've read this one time and again. We've read it anytime of year, but it's best in the winter, when we have just a dusting of snow. Here the girls get to see the excitement and possibility (imagination!) of how life could be if we lived somewhere with lots of snow.
Virginia Lee Burton is an author/illustrator that has definitely earned a place on my keeper list. Slowly but surely we're adding more of her titles to our shelves and I'm loving it! Katy is a special character and one that I'm sure we'll revisit time and again.
