Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2–It's almost Christmas and there's no snow in sight, so young Fawn Braun exhorts the citizens of Pfeffernut County to make their own. Despite the failure of sugar, popcorn, cotton balls, and mini marshmallows to replicate the real thing, Christmas comes anyway and is the merriest one ever. The story is straightforward, with a teacherly list of five &follow-up questions and some &fun snow facts. The digital illustrations feature slightly surreal-looking townspeople sporting red Christmas sweaters. The endpapers consist of scrapbooklike newspaper clippings, photos, and other realia about the town. Most libraries can skip this one.–Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library END
