I have always been a fan of Nadine Berbnard Westcott's art, but in HELLO, SNOW! I get the bonus of a well-written, fun, and fast-paced read.

This book is perfect for preschoolers who like to dress them selves. As the child in the book puts on each article of clothing for a day in the snow, she says 'hello' to the clothing and 'goodbye' to something else. Here is an excerpt to illustrate:

"Hello, pants.
Goodbye, knees.
I don't want
you guys to freeze.

Hello, sock.
Goodbye, toe.
Hold on piggies--
In you go!"

The action heads outdoors, for even more fun with a snowman and sledding and fun with friends.

A perfect read for cold winter days!

This was a fun picture book about playing in the snow. While I feel my son might have been a little old for it, he thought it was fun. I would recommend it for grades Preschool - 1st.

This cute book uses catchy musical rythmeic lyrics to entertain the children througout the story. Children, age 18 months to 4, will love this book. This book encourages self-help skills, such as getting dressed, and promotes phonemic awareness. Children can easily clap to the rythem of the story.

A great read-a-loud book for the whole family that will bring back warm memories of waking up to discover a world of snow outside your window. The words and pictures help the reader to smell, feel and hear the sounds of a winter's day, a day filled with the joys of woolen hats, soft mittens, building a snowman, exciting rides over snow covered hills and hot cocoa waiting in the kitchen.

How can you not appreciate a frosty day with a foot of sno on the ground and sledding, building snowmen, and coming inside for hot chocolate? This delightful tale by Hope Vestergaard and gorgeously illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott shows all the joy of a beautiful Winter's day.

In anticipation of a fun day in the snow, a little girl gets her father out of bed, get's dressed in her snow clothes, and heads outside. Dad takes care of shoveling the snow while the girl and her friend entertain themselves with snowballs, building a snowman, and sledding. All with Hope's infectiously cute rhyming prose. Simply a fun little book!
