White Snow, Bright Snow

About this book

''When it begins to look, feel, and smell like snow, everyone prepares for a winter blizzard. At the first snowfall of the year, all the grown-ups do their usual things when a snowstorm comes, while the children are filled with wonder.''

goodreads review: When the first flakes fell from the grey sky, the postman and the farmer and the policeman and his wife scurried about doing all the practical things grownups do when a snowstorm comes. But the children laughed and danced, and caught the lacy snowflakes on their tongues. All the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book -- the frost ferns on the window sill, the snow man in the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world. Roger Duvoisin's pictures in soft blue half-tones with briliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the gaiety and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text.
