Description
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 grown-ups 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 windowsill, the snowman in the yard and the mystery and
magic of a new white world.
Roger Duvoisin’s pictures in soft blue half-tones
with brilliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the happiness and humor as
well as the poetic quality of the text.
