Welcome to Litsy!

“The snow was still everywhere. New snow was falling!“

I would use this book in my classroom to teach children about winter. This book shows a childs perspective on what winter entails. During winter, its cold and it snows. Due to this, we dress with hats and coats.

The use of space is conveyed in the book to show the readers how much snow there is. In each page on the story, most of the page is white to represent the snow. This is beneficial for readers who are learning about winter and snow because it explains it from a child's perspective.

“Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see.“

I would use this book in my classroom to teach children about winter and what winter entails. The boy in the story describes his first experiences with snow and what his adventures entailed.

This is an award winning book about a little boy who experiences snow. He describes his first encounters with snow and his adventure. He experiments with footprints, knocking snow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save a snowball for the next day.

Proud bookish mama moment 🤗

Snow is falling, house is clean, time to curl up and read ☃️

I‘d never read this picture book classic before this year. I loved the simplicity and the sense of wonder, and I also adored all the rich colours in the illustrations. Love the iconic red snowsuit.
