Cold snap

Warm up with this charming neighborly tale about a small town determined to beat the deep freeze from a beloved picture-book author and a two-time Caldecott Honor illustrator. It's snowy cold in the town of Toby Mills. The thermometer is sinking toward zero, and the icicle hanging from the nose of General Toby's statue is growing closer to the ground. The newspaper headline reads 'Cold snap!' The people of the town are losing hope-and the feeling in their toes-until the mayor's wife saves the day with a toasty treat.
