Winter is my favorite season, and snow is one of my favorite things in the world - even if it means hours of shoveling each day. In this book Barbara Reid captures a child's wonder and fascination with the first snow fall and all that can be done with snow. Snow forts, snow balls, and snowmen are part and parcel of childhood in Canada, and Reid captures that wonderfully.
This book is also a departure for her in that it includes some sketches and comic-style framed story to supplement her world- famous plasticine art. Her work with plasticine often looks like it is photographs. This book with the predominance of white for the snow is a masterpiece of art. This is another fabulous book by a Canadian author and illustrator and a prime example of why she has won almost every Children's Book award.
