Produktbeschreibung
Winter has arrived behind the great Bear Sleeping Sand Dune off Lake Michigan in the Village of MeCold, by the Lake of Crystals, in the County of WeCold, in the State of Frigid. A great lake effect snowstorm is forming off the Great Lake. Fear is everywhere when the Cold Ones are warned of the approaching great storm. Quickly, they find themselves caught in the rising snow. Cold Ones ice fishing on the pier are completely covered. Trunks, a huge Cold One, saved the small Cold Ones on his tree trunk arms. After the snowstorm as the sun rose the Grippers, strong football players, shovel out the covered Cold Ones. And magically, after all great snowstorms, new Cold Ones are born. The Cold Ones celebrate their good fortune by visiting the water volcanos along the Great Lake and then take in a movie at the Garden Theatre.
Autorenporträt
Winter in Michigan provided glorious mounds of snow in my youth for snow forts, snowballs, snowmen and snowwomen, and many snow sculptures. These early times were an inspiration for the Cold Ones characters in this book and in two additional books in The Great Snowstorm series, "Invasion of the Snow Puppies" and "The Vegetarian Polar Bears". With love for the outdoors, I spent much of my free time with winter sports and summers in the water, in the woods and on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan. This love of the outdoors led me into studies of Landscape Architecture in my early college days at Michigan State University. The studies stressed design in the environmental relationships, the ecosystems of plant communities and the balance of all natural things. Once drafted during the Vietnam War, I worked in army illustration at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Using the GI Bill, I was fortunate to continue my studies at the University of Michigan and graduated with additional degrees in Architecture. This profession led to employment in Illinois, Florida, and California designing land plans and architecture.
