From Booklist
*Starred Review* PreS-Gr. 2. This evocative story harkens back to an earlier, simpler time as it celebrates a feeling of sharing and neighborliness that is still the ideal today. Billy is disappointed when inclement weather keeps his relatives from coming for his birthday. The storm gets even worse while Billy and his sister are in school. It's so bad, the roads are closed, and Mr. Carter comes to tell Miss Bailey, the teacher, that she and her students are stuck for the night. Because they are without food and blankets, Miss Bailey decides they will have to make their way to the closest house--Billy's. A wonderful two-page spread shows Mr. Carter and Miss Bailey leading a chain of children through the blinding snow. Then they arrive at Billy's house, where it's warm and bright and there is plenty of good food--including birthday treats. Everything here is predictable, but the feelings the events engender are tender and strong. Himler's artwork alternates between the white-gray of the blowing snow and the golden glow that comes from both inside the house and the hearts of those who live there. Set perhaps 50 or 60 years ago, this story can work as a bridge between generations. Ilene Cooper
