So
many men find it hard to put into words, their feelings for their loved
ones. Not the little boy in this story however, he not only puts it into
words but actions as well. "If I Had a Snowplow", is the story of a
little boy who shows his love for his mother through imaginative play with
his toys. If he had a snowplow he would crash through the deep snow to
clear a road for her, if he had a mixer he would pour a sidewalk for her.
If his toy trucks were real he would do many things for his mother to show
how much she means to him, and to help make her days a little
easier.
This book is written from a
child's point of view, as his imagination helps him to soar into many
role-playing situations. It is through his role
playing that he is able to express his true feelings, as most
children do. It leads to many discussions about things we can do to show
our love for one another, and to help one another throughout the
year.
Very well written by Jean L.S. Patrick and
beautifully illustrated by Karen Dugan, this story will be a favorite in
many households. The story is written with a repetitive style, making it
an easy book for early readers to enjoy, as well as a fun
book to share with a caring grown-up.
My son just loves this story and has read it many
times over. It even became a fun book to share with his grade one class at
school, where he proudly read it to his fellow pupils. I recommend this
book for ages four to eight years. A fun outlook on the expression of one
little mans true feelings of love for his mother.
