Synopsis: Have you heard the one about Grandpa walking through three feet of snow—uphill both ways—just to get home when he was a kid? Well, you haven't heard it like this! During one sudden and relentless blizzard, lively Walt gets stuck for days in a barn by himself. "Awful!" Meanwhile, shy Fred is trapped in an inn full of people. "Horrible!" They both have to dig their way out. "The worst." "You said it." What a terrible storm! But what a terrific—and funny—story! About the AuthorCarol Otis Hurst says, "Rocks and minerals weren't my father's only fascination. He loved and respected all kinds of learning. There wasn't room in the book to tell you that Mrs. Johnson sent him to college while he was curator of mineralogy. Younger students at the college called him 'Grandpa,' but some other people did, too, by then. When Mrs. Johnson retired, my father became the director of the entire Springfield Science Museum. He was probably the happiest man I ever knew." Carol Otis Hurst lives in Westfield, Massachusetts, not far from the museum. She tells stories, writes, and conducts workshops with kids, teachers, and librarians on reading and children's books. Her passion for children's literature is almost as great as her father's was for rocks. You might say she's got "books in her head."
