Snowflakes falling! What a treat! Friends gather outside to celebrate the first snowfall of the season with snowball fights, sledding, building igloos, drinking hot chocolate, and making the most of a windy, wintry day. With rhyming text and cheerful illustrations, this is a charming celebration of the winter season.
Praise for First Snow:
"A sweet suburban/rural contrast to the snowy day enjoyed by Peter in the city.”
-- Kirkus Reviews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Halloween is over and now we can look to the sky and hope for snow. The fluffy white stuff is what kid's winter dreams are made of and this beautifully illustrated story celebrates the joy of the first snow. I love the sing song text and the illustrations capture all the most captivating parts of winter and playing outside in the snow. I cannot wait to share this in my classes and create wonderful art activities around this book!
