Ostensibly about a perfect winter day, it was more like an introduction to different names people might have. It also had strange bird like people that might be scary, although I am sure that was not the intention of the author.

The collage landscapes are beautiful, but the children with their carrot noses creeped me out.
All in all, this is not my favorite 'snowy day' picture book.

this book succeeds because it really made me want snow.

A simple yet lovely book, the use of ephemera for the collages give the illustrations great depth.

Berger's illustrations are charming in this book that celebrates a winter's day.

Celebrate a wonderful winter day in this picture book! Join the children as they make the first tracks in the snow, glide on skis, and lose their dog in the drifts. There are snowball fights and building snowmen too. Others make a fort in the snow and sled down big hills. There is ice skating, snow angels, and even an icicle stand. This is one gorgeous snowy day.
Told in very simple words, this picture book really shows what makes for an exceptional wintry day. The collage illustrations are really what make the book shine. The snowy hills are textured by the faint lines on pages and by the words that had been written on them. Against this subtle background, the bright-colored and sharp-edged characters pop. The trees too stand dark and strong against the white.
A wonderful winter read, this picture book is a perfect ending to your own snowy day. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

I want to know what the writing on the collages says. I don't think that's the point of this book. I'm sure there's a magic age that would adore the book. Somehow, that's not me right now.
