Annotation: There's only one reason that snow never closes school in Burskyville: school bus driver extrordinaire, Axle Annie. She puts the pedal to the metal and gets the bus up the snowy hills every time. Of course, not everyone appreciates her efforts, and heading that list is fellow bus driver Shifty Rhodes, who hooks up with a local ski resort to trip up Annie. Full-color illustrations.

Publisher Description:
Winter packs a wallop in Burskyville. But it doesn't matter how hard it snows, because Axle Annie is the best school bus driver who's ever lived. Do snow plows plow? Do tow trucks tow? Are school buses yellow? Of course I can make it up Tiger Hill, she says, and that's why the schools never close. The laziest bus driver in town is not pleased at all, so he comes up with a scheme to keep axle Annie off the road. But he's not counting on Axle Annie's gumption. Of course she'll make it up Tiger Hill--won't she?

With hilarious over-the-top characters, this satisfyingly outrageous tale will tickle readers' funny bones.--Kirkus Reviews

Arnold's cartoons add just the right amount of humor.--School Library Journal
