I really liked this book because I like poetry. It may be a short book but it is one of my favorite poetry books. It is about winter time and it's snowing and it shows all of the animals playing in snow and how pretty it is to be in the snow. I learned that everbody has different opinions about snow. Some people like it and some people don't like it as much as the other person.

Jane Yolen is prolific in the world of children's publishing. I enjoyed her book of poems. The accompanying photography is lovely and complements her work. I am re-reading this book to get inspiration.
This book of snow poems is okay, though not all of the poems are my favorite. Then again, I don't think that it's intended to be that way. I like the book though.
Word-picture poems are accompanied by beautiful winter landscape photos. Nicely done.
Nice poems illustrated with photographs. A little hit or miss, but an okay picture book.
I read the poem "Snow on the Trees" on page 15. It was nice because there were several similes like "as white as milk, as white as wool, as chalk, as cream, as white as ghosts." The beginning and last stanza are similar in that they start with "Somebody painted the trees last night...white on white." This ties the poem nicely together. It is mysterious because it says "somebody." The photographs are beautiful. I just didn't enjoy this type of poetry as much as humorous and silly ones like those...more
As you might have guessed from the title, this collection of poetry is all about snow and winter. Yolen's poems are paired with breathtaking photographs of wintry landscapes.
What I thought: In this collection I most enjoyed Yolen's use of imagery. In "Snow on the Trees," she uses painting imagery and numerous similes. In "River in Winter," the snow is fur on the water. A delightful collection!
