Industry Reviews

"The illustrations create a mystical magical winter world in pale colors of blue, white and silver. Use this one in a November storytime when kids are waiting for snow." -Katrina Yurenka, Retired Librarian, Youth Services Book Review

"With lovely illustrations, the wonders of wintery outdoors mixes with the warmth of love. The illustrations really make this read worth picking up and enjoying. Each snowy landscape is done with care and a calming atmosphere, while incorporating the variety and excitement to be found when venturing out into the landscape. The children's activities inspire, awaken curiosity, and invite to play. The details will have young readers coming back time and again to enjoy each scene and, maybe, discover their own ideas and want to head outside. The story invites into the scenes and carries the needed depth to draw in and lead to the warming message at the end. The vocabulary is age appropriate and can be tackled by those sure of their words. As a read-aloud, it does draw out a little long, at times, for more impatient readers/listeners and could use a little more attention in the overall flow. But it is a read to cuddle up with and leads to snow-exploring dreams." -Tonja Drecker, Blogger
