Matt Phelan’s second book in the Plum series, A Snow Day for Plum! was published by Greenwillow Books an imprint of HarperCollins in 2023. Mr. Phelan has written and illustrated a fun adventure for Plum a peacock, Kevin a giant elephant shrew, and Itch a ningbing. Set in an empty school during a blizzard, Plum, Kevin, Itch and fellow zoo animals meet three school mice and embark on an exploration of the school. Along the way themes of fear of a new school, friendship and practice are depicted. Mr. Phelan’s engaging black and white illustrations draw the reader into the adventure and for artists he added a how to draw Plum section at the end.
Plum and friends are an amusing romp for those with March snowstorms and snow days and those wishing for snow days. This short book with many illustrations may be called a chapter book or a young middle grade novel. Pages:128.
