Bouncy bed-time story!

Bouncing storyline and lots of joyous snowball fights, sleding & dancing. Fun for adults to read and great for kids to hear and see - whether it snows where you live or not. The energetic rhymes & descriptive rolling words: winter weary cold and dreary "how we wish that it would snow!" Low clouds hover sky is covered "it just might you never know." make it a cheerful little book for all occasions. kotori

Snowy

Evans' melodic verse brings to life this wonderful celebration of winter. Her rhyming words will get your heart pumping and your feet jumping..."Skipping, prancing happy dancing hoping snow will come our way, We are whirling swirling, twirling begging flakes to come and stay." Can't you feel it? As the forcast predicts snow, the children sing and dance in hopes it will come. For with snow brings fun and excitment, and a chance for no school! Through watercolor Cynthia Jabar successfully portrays the story. You feel the children's joy as the snow is forecasted, you see the fun the snow brings as the children sled ride, make snowman, and have snowball fights, and you capture the warmth of the fire awaiting them at home. This is a marvelous book that will keep your children's spirits soaring.

Spend a wonderful day in the snow!

This book is wonderful! The reader is taken through an afternoon of wishing for snow which turns into the next day of school cancelled and a fun day of playing in the snow. The rhyming text and illustrations are very pleasing and bring back many memories of snow days and all the fun associated with them. My whole family enjoys this book, one that can be read over and over.

Fun for parents and kids.

This is one of those books you won't mind reading over and over. It's as much a pleasure to read the clever, flowing rhymes as it is to hear them. My 2-1/2-year-old daughter loves this book even though she probably doesn't really remember the snow from last winter and we haven't had any yet this winter. A real winner at our house!

A wonderful snowy day book!

This cleverly written book captures the anticipation and fun of a snowy day. The perfect reading for any day - snowing or not! A must-have for your collection.
