Who's ever heard of a snowstorm in the summer?
Zoomer, that's who! It's a hot summer day and Zoomer is all ready to cool off with a snow cone. But when the snow cone–making goes too far, the hot summer day turns icy cold! Luckily Zoomer knows just how to make the best of the situation: He goes on a snow safari, visits the polar empire of Zoomarctica, rides his snow locomotive—and that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Once again, Ned Young paints Zoomer's world with fun and rich illustrations that turn the silly into the spectacular. Both kids and their parents will laugh out loud at the comical antics and cuddle up together for the warm and cozy ending.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Zoomer's second picture book is every bit as surreal as his first. The black and tan puppy gets distracted while using the snow cone machine, and when he opens the window, "winter" gushes like a geyser into the sunny yard (to the annoyance of his baseball-playing brothers). Zoomer lets loose in his self-made winter wonderland, sculpting the snow into enormous sea creatures, dinosaurs, and the "polar empire of Zoomarctica." Although the ending has the feel of a non sequitur (Zoomer gets hungry, cleans up the snow, and convinces his mother to make chili), readers will delight in the quirky juxtaposition of the dog's implausibly masterful ice sculptures with emerald grass and an azure sky. Ages 3 7.
