A beautifully illustrated, rollicking read-aloud about forest animals who are caught—literally up to their ears and antlers—in a snowstorm.

On Monday, it starts to snow.
Silent swirling.
How high will it go?

Follow seven forest creatures, from a tiny mouse to a giant moose, as they hunker down in a snowstorm. As the week progresses, the snow piles up and up--even past Moose's antlers!

On Sunday, the sun starts to melt the snow, and it seems that, as the next week passes and it grows sunnier, spring has finally sprung. But wait...is that more snow?! This cumulative picture book is at once beautiful and lyrical and playful and joyful, with charming illustrations by a highly acclaimed illustrator.

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3-The flakes start to fall on a Monday, ushering in a week of accumulating snow. On subsequent days, different forest animals appear, along with the repeated refrain of "how high will it go?" Readers see a mouse, rabbit, fox, wolf, two leaping deer, and a bear, by Saturday, fall into a soft, deep pile. The lyrical language includes rhyme and alliteration, expressing both drama and the peace of a white-out. The fuzziness of the pictures in the first portion of the book beautifully matches the reduced visibility during a snowstorm. On Sunday the storm abates, and when the sun comes out on Monday, readers see a moose, followed by the earlier animals, all greeting the signs of spring. Illustrations perfectly capture the first captivating hints of green. Of course, spring is often a bit of a tease, and in true circle story fashion, winter isn't quite over, and nature's drama will begin again. VERDICT A quiet story that paints a lovely scene and sets a mood with evocative illustrations and language.-Gloria Kosterα(c) Copyright 2011.

Happened upon this book at the book store, love the illustrations and whimsical feel to the book. Little enjoy it

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023

First off, this book (the one in blue and yellow colors, by H. Park) is so creative and fun. My four year old was squealing with delight at the surprise twists the book takes, like slowly revealing an enormous snow man. We have read and reread this book! I want to buy a copy for his Pre-K class to enjoy. The drawings are silly and a little mysterious, and play on white space in a way that gets your imagination going.

Second thing to note though is that these reviews on here are mostly for the wrong book. There seems to be another book with the same title but by a different author-- one that includes animals and rhymes? The book listed above, by H. Park, is not that book and doesn't have any animals in it. So if you're trying to buy a specific copy of a book with a similar title, be sure to pay close attention to the listing details so you don't pick up the wrong one.

An engaging read for little ones

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023

So Much Snow is such a charming book. The sparse words, gentle internal rhyme, and built in anticipation make this an engaging read for little ones. I love the layering of the days of the week with the changing seasons. Brilliant and so well crafted! The illustrations pair beautifully with the text. I honestly could not love this book more!

A gentle celebration of winter

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023

SO MUCH SNOW combines soft illustrations with simple and lively text to show the last big snowfall of winter in a forest.

As snow falls for seven days, forest animals from a mouse to a moose each wonders: “How high will it go?”

Artist Sarah Jacoby used watercolors, chalky pastels, and Photoshop to create a forest disappearing under an increasing amount of snow, and then reappearing with touches of spring as the snow melts.

Author Kristen Schroeder’s active text (flakes floating, drifts dancing) is scattered across the pages, including placed along the curve of a snowdrift and atop a huge mound of snow.

Kids will enjoy comparing the animals between the winter and spring scenes, such as a fox hopping over a pile of snow and standing before a big puddle.
For ages 3-7.

This review is based on a digital ARC.

A Beautiful and Lyrical celebration of snow.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2023

The soft, beautiful illustrations in SO MUCH SNOW compliment the lyrical language, and the refrain “How high will it go?” invites young readers to wonder, along with the woodland animals, when a week-long snowstorm will stop. Once it does, a new refrain invites readers to welcome the woodland friends who reappear, one by one, as the snow melts…It’s spring! But wait…the circular ending suggests that winter’s not over yet!

I love a good snow story, and SO MUCH SNOW does not disappoint. Its sparse, yet lyrical language earns it a place next to read aloud classics such as URI Shulevitz’s SNOW, Keats’ THE SNOWY DAY, Eileen Spinelli’s COLD SNAP and Cynthia Rylant’s SNOW.

As a mentor text in the reading classroom, this picture book can be used to practice predicting, sequencing, recognizing cause/effect structure and understand/interpreting figurative language such as personification and onomatopoeia.

As a mentor text in the writing classroom, this picture book can be used to demonstrate effective use of refrain, circular endings, personification and onomatopoeia, word choice and playful placement of text.

I highly recommend SO MUCH SNOW for elementary/language arts classrooms, as part of a “Celebrating Snow” text set in library and other story times, and as a snuggle-up-on-a-snowy-day read aloud with little ones.

Beautiful story and illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2023

Beautiful prose, lovely illustrations, a book to read and re-read. Adults will love this just as much as children. Captures the wonders of weather, from a snowstorm to the thawing, with all the excitement, the surprise, and the joy.

perfect read aloud for a group or fire-side lap read

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023

This picture book follows a group of woodland creatures who celebrate as snow falls, each wondering, “How high will it go?” Kristen Schroeder’s lyrical and layered text includes an introduction to the days of the week, animals from small to large, circular storytelling structure, and repetition. She expertly weaves a story whose arc rises gently and then descends to a conclusion that will have readers begging to read the book again and again. Sarah Jacoby’s darling, watercolor illustrations capture the magic of snowfall and the joyful expressions of the animal characters as they frolic in the snow. I have a soft spot for bunnies, illustrated end papers, and surprise “undies” covers under the dust jacket, and this book ticks all those boxes, and then some. A perfect read aloud for a group or for a cozy lap-read by the fire, SO MUCH SNOW is a must for your bookshelf!

A fun story to read over and over again

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023

SO MUCH SNOW is a fun, rhythmic story with exquisite illustrations! Kids will love the “How high will it go refrain?” that the forest creatures ask as the snow piles up higher and higher. The mouse and the bunny, the fox and wolf, the deer and the bear all watch as the snow goes higher and higher. This is a book that will be fun to read and enjoy again and again—on days when the snow gets higher and higher and on days when the snow gets lower and lower.
