...SNOWED IN SUMMER, by Florence Heide and Sylvia Van Clief, illustrated by Kenneth Longtemps (Funk & Wagnalls; $2.95). It is the hottest day of the year in New York City, too hot to do anything, so hot that Carrie puts ice cubes in her bath. But at nightfall, Jack Frost comes out of hiding, and Carrie and her doll, Loretta Cecelia, and all the other people in New York awake next morning to find everything covered with a blanket of snow.

Yet often as not, particularly with the elements, all the panelists have guessed wrong. They missed Jack Benny (Air), Robert Goulet (Fire), Carol Lawrence (Earth), and Ed Sullivan's wife Sylvia (Fire). But all the experts did guess Sullivan's element last week. He is Air.
