The book will withstand all of this reading and more. Young children will want the story read to them until they have it memorized-and will then read it themselves. Let It Snow! is a nice winter board book. Speaking of the pages, each successive page is larger than the last, until the final page where everyone is having a great time playing in the snow. Young children will have no trouble turning the fat cardboard pages that will not tear from repeated use or tiny fingers. I choose Snowman Sam, Felicity, Flash, and Merry (the happy mice), and Manumit (the snow-angel mouse). Besides the wonderful illustrations, not one of the characters has a moniker. One mouse is au natural, yet he does not seem cold while laying in the snow. This mouse wears a green polka dotted orange scarf. Snowman’s mice friends wear colorful sweaters, except for his best friend. Once the snow stops (next spread), Snowman has his smile back and is ready to dance. His body folds into the hills of snow around him as he sleeps through the storm. The mice are all home and Snowman has hunkered down-literally. I love the spread where the snow is coming down in large flakes. I have never understood why snowmen have brooms. He has a black top hat, a green and red scarf, a carrot nose, charcoal eyes and mouth, and a broom. Snowman looks like the snowman most of us probably visualize. The illustrations are nicely balanced with a blue sky contrasting the white snow ground. Let It Snow! is a bright and cheery board book. And when the snow is finally done, then it’s time for winter fun!” “I love it when it snows and snows all night, and the ground is covered in white. Snowman is telling one of the mice how much he likes snow and why, The mice are actually expert skiers and ski all around Snowman. His friends are mice and they like the snow, too. they dance all night, and they dance all day!” Back Cover: “.Mouse and Snowman like to play. ![]()
