Bookroo's summary

Katy, the tireless tractor, faces her biggest challenge when a massive blizzard buries Geoppolis. As the city grinds to a halt, all eyes turn to Katy. Can she clear the way and restore order? With her relentless spirit and trusty snowplow, Katy embarks on a mission to dig out the town, proving that even the smallest hero can make a big difference. Will she succeed in her snowy quest, or will the city remain trapped under winter's icy grip?

From the publisher

Katy, a brave and untiring tractor, who pushes a bulldozer in the summer and a snowplow in the winter, makes it possible for the townspeople to do their jobs. “Bright, vigorous pictures with plenty of action and endless detail portray Katy at work for the Highway Department of the city of Geoppolis.” – Horn Book
