Review:

Everyone gets a little giddy when the first snow arrives. A little boy and girl are no different. What will they wear when the first snow arrives?

“Puffy Jackets. Scarves in place. Extra mittens, just in case. Clunky boots and funky hats.”

What fun these youngsters will have when the neighbors come to play. All together they build a snowman and dress him up smart. These kids get rosy cheeked from the brisk air. They race their sleds and screech and laugh. Snowballs fill the air, and everyone runs and plays with a pup in tow. When its time to go inside where it’s warm and toasty what do you think they’ll have to warm them up?

Author Nancy Viau along with illustrations by Talitha Shipman has created a fun first read for the winter season. Simple sentences that rhyme and pages filled with colorful images help tell the story so beginner readers can learn to recognize words. This quick read is great for naptime, bedtime or just a fun reading time. Caregivers can read this aloud to young listeners and get them engaged in what they like to do when it snows.
