The #1 New York Times bestseller!
Big trucks may brag and roar, but small and steadfast wins the day in this cheerful story with timeless appeal.
On the Mighty Mountain Road Crew, the trucks come in one size: BIG. That is, until the little snowplow joins the crew. None of the other trucks think that the little snowplow can handle the big storms, but he knows that he can do it—and just to be sure, he trains hard, pushing loads of gravel, pulling blocks of concrete, and doing plow lifts to get ready. But when a blizzard arrives, will the little snowplow’s training be enough to clear the streets and handle unexpected trouble? Taking its place beside classics such as The Little Engine That Could and Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, this tale of a plucky little plow will find a clear path to readers’ hearts.

From School Library Journal:
Jake Parker is the illustrator of many books for young readers, as well as animated films and comic books. He also lives near the mountains, in Provo, Utah, and wishes the little snowplow would stop by his driveway every winter.
PreS-Gr 2—In the town of Mighty Mountain, there is a great team of big trucks with important jobs, but there is also one little snowplow who has just joined the crew. The big trucks scoff at his size and declare that the little snowplow will never be able to handle a snowfall the way the old, retired snowplow had. In the seasons leading up to winter, the mighty trucks bulldoze mudslides, build roads, and mound salt and sand while the little snowplow clears streams, cleans streets, and pushes leaves into piles. The little snowplow works hard to build strength and make sure that he is in tip-top shape for the upcoming winter. Sure enough, as expected, the big snows come. As the big trucks haughtily predicted, the little snowplow indeed needs their help, but what they fail to realize is that maybe the little snowplow will have much to offer them in their hour of need as well. A story of hard work, determination, and graciousness, this picture book will reinforce to young readers that a strong work ethic and forgiving spirit will take one far. The colorful illustrations are created in pencil and rendered digitally. Each vehicle is artfully designed with a face that humorously displays feeling and expression. Boys and girls alike will enjoy pointing out the different types of trucks and stating their functions. VERDICT Reminiscent of The Little Engine That Could, this story is a modern take on a timeless message.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE
