About One Snowy Day
Product Description Handpicked by Amazon kids’ books editor, Seira Wilson, for Prime Book Box – a children’s subscription that inspires a love of reading. The snow coats the treetops and covers the grass as THREE happy faces peer out through the glass. When millions of snowflakes blanket the town in white, ONE energetic puppy and TWO children set out for some snowy day fun―full of friends, sledding, snowballs, puppy hijinks, and more. The lyrical, rhyming text counts up to ten and back down to one, making this the perfect way to incorporate learning into snow day fun. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—This snowy picture book is a superb way to encourage counting strategies for young children during the winter months and is a great jump start for sequencing ideas to support curriculum development. Filled with a diverse cast of children, it begins with snow covering the ground and one dog barking. Each number is written out, which makes this a more challenging text for children reading on their own, and each number is set apart in color and font size. The dog wakes up his two kids, and there is a great scene of the three of them stretching in a downward dog pose for yoga as they get ready for the day. As the story progresses, the brother and sister meet their friends, sled, make snow angels, and throw snowballs. Once they build a snowman, the countdown from ten begins as they chase their dog, who steals the snowman's carrot nose, and pass items in their town. The illustrations are a combination of mixed media and digital. Although it is winter, the children's clothing and the colors in the sky are vibrant and match the energy of the text. There are many books on counting as it is an important concept for young children, but well-done addition requires children to count in two directions. VERDICT Recommended for all libraries serving young children, especially those where numerical concept books are in high demand.—Rachel Zuffa, Case High School, Racine, WI 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 Reviews "A natural pairing for Ezra Jack Keats' Snowy Day, of course, but also a sweet, idyllic alternative for those occasions when the classic needs a rest. " - Booklist "his sweet counting book will charm little ones with its clever rhyming couplets and a fun story that goes through the day and tiptoes to bedtime and sleep. It's a terrific way to help little ones to quiet down for the night...Youngsters will love this book and so will the adults who read it to them." - Tulsa Book Review "This snowy picture book is a superb way to encourage counting strategies for young children during the winter months and is a great jump start for sequencing ideas to support curriculum development.
