Summary of book
The book is set in the winter time at Birdwell Island and everyone is excited because that means that their is snow on the ground. Well, everyone except Clifford's friend T-Bone. T-Bone is scared to get hit with a snowball. The kids and the dogs decide it would be a great idea to play capture the flag. T-Bone does not like the idea, but goes anyways even though he is still terrified. During the game, T-Bone starts to panic that he might get hit with a snowball so he runs as fast as he can to get away. As he is running, he spots a flag and uses it to protect himself from the snowballs. Little did he know he actually won the game. After T-Bone discovers that he had won, he realized that snowball fights are not that bad after all.

Personal reaction
I love the snow and reading this book makes me wish it would snow, even though I do not like being cold. I can see how T-Bone was scared to get hit with a snowball because I too was scared to get hit with one when I was little. Now, I know that they are harmless and are a lot of fun to play with.

Extension ideas
1. See if the principal would let my class go outside and play in the snow. Have students bring proper clothes to wear outside so they do not get to cold.
2. If there is not any snow, we could do a science project and make snow in the classroom. I have seen one on the internet that is pretty cool and looks easy to make. ( )
