Editorial Review

"The delights of snow-day snow-play in a small town are enumerated in this early concept book for tots... In this childcentric tale (no adults in sight), they are soon joined by a diverse cast of six friends eager to sled, make snow angels, and build snowmen... this gambol allows parents and children room to talk about seasonal weather and activities. 

" - Kirkus

About the book

What can be better than spending a wonderful winter's day  outdoors building, creating and enjoying the possibilities that playing in the snow can bring?  

This lyrical rhyming book is also a counting book.  The numbers climb up to 10 then back down to 1. It incorporates numeracy into the theme of a delightful winter's romp with your friends. 

Millions of snowflakes crown the activities in this small town.  ONE sweet rambunctious puppy and TWO bundled up kids are ready to go.  They glide on their sleds, swish out snow angels, pack perfect snowballs to throw, sculpt the snow into a giant snowman and then decorate him with buttons and a carrot nose. But wait.... the carrot nose has been stolen by a furry four-legged intruder.  Oh My!!!  Who could that be?  Can the kids retrieve that carrot and finish off their snowman masterpiece completed by his nose?  I think they will be surprised when they do discover where the carrot actually does ends up.  

This is a perfect book that highlights how engaging winter actually can be.  The book showcases a diverse array of friends who eagerly join in the fun with the two siblings.  The book's colour pallet depicts the cool colours of the winter landscape outdoors, and then the warm indoor colours that give the reader a sense of coziness and completion. The kids read books, colour and sip hot chocolate.   It shows a perfect ending to their delightful snowy day. 

I highly recommend this book.
