Every child loves a snow day, but in this story for readers 4 to 7, Sam has to wait for his Grandad. Trying to hurry him up, Sam tells Grandad all the other kids have gone to the park—and all the local dogs, and all the zoo animals! Eventually they will get there, and thoroughly enjoy their snow day! Clearly having fun with his painted illustrations, Sam Usher imagines an elephant, a monkey, and a giraffe in the middle of a city park.
