Synopses & Reviews
In this charming question-and-answer story, each animal—from the mouse to the bear—tells us what it will do and where it will go when the snow starts to fall from the sky.
This new big book format emphasizes Phillis Gershators chant-along verse, which encourages listener participation. The inquisitive text and the dashing illustrations by Martin Matje make this a delightful picture book for reading aloud when the weather gets chilly.
Review
"With words that roll off the tongue, pictures of charming woodland inhabitants and a dash of science, this one will have readers raring to go on a snow quest of their own." --
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The mood and simplicity of expression recall Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day and Ruth Krauss' The Happy Day." --Booklist
"[A] cozily satisfying lapsit for that toddler fascinated by both snowflakes and animal noises." --The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books
