This story, which focuses on several animal families plus one owl, perfectly portrays the delights of a snow day, both indoors and out. Wheeler’s rich, colorful digital illustrations immerse readers in the atmosphere of winter. The playful art, which depicts activities that many young readers will find familiar (sledding, snowball fights), adds warmth (complete with fireplace!) to the narrative. From the first detailed endpaper to the last, this picture book will have readers wishing to wake up and fall asleep on a snow day.

From the ">November/December 2024 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
