City of Snow: The Great Blizzard of 1888

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Francesca Filippucci. In a fictional story told in sometimes rhyming free verse, a young girl relates her family's experience in New York City during and immediately after this famous snowstorm. Events seem to belie the severity of the storm--in the middle of it, the family goes to the circus--but muted watercolors convey a nice sense of a city hushed by snow.
