Sam Usher is not afraid of white space. He presents a picture of pristine white snow which gradually gets covered with more and more footprints and tracks as a boy urges his Grandad to get out there with him and enjoy it. Grandad takes his time, to the boy’s frustration, but the eventual fun they have proves well worth the wait.
Every child loves a snow day - no school and snowball fights galore! But a boy has to wait for his grandad. Trying to hurry him up, he tells Grandad all the other kids have gone to the park . . . and all the local dogs . . .and all the zoo animals! Only when they finally arrive does Grandad see that his grandson was telling the truth - and both of them get stuck in having fun on their snow day!
