The Little Snowplow by Lora Koehler

This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.
This book was provided by Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review.
The Little Snowplow tells the story of a little snowplow everyone believes is out of his depth when he starts working in a mountain town. It's a cute story in the same vein as classics like Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel that teaches kids to always believe in themselves and that they can do anything if they set their minds to it. The new picture book features adorable art and a cute lead character.
I don't think this is altogether a new idea, but it's a good message to reinforce so I don't take issue with the content. I think it was well told, and I think kids would love to join in on the little snowplows beeps throughout the book. Design-wise I think the snowplow is pretty cute, and would be a popular character, I think his smile is a little scary but that might just be me.
Overall I really liked the art, there's something very classic and adorable about it. I think it really suited the story and made for some great holiday season reading. I highly recommend this book!
