So simple it would probably work as well or better if it were a board book. I can more easily imagine a tot spending time looking at this herself, rather than a family reading it aloud.
It would work pretty well for a family that likes to spend time talking about what they're reading, though, as you could relate your own experiences to those of the characters. "Remember when we...?"

This is a nice story about all the animals and children as they go out on a snowy day to experience all the fun that such a winter day has in store. I think that Kevin Henkes does a good job of bringing to the book the feeling of seeing and being in snow, in the tradition of Ezra Kack Keats's The Snowy Day, and the understated pictures by Laura Dronzek compliment the action well.
There was nothing particularly bad or great about this book, written by Henkes and illustrated by his wife. The inclusion of the animal sounds was interesting, and the illustrations matched the text well. The book would be best for bedtime.
I was initially drawn to this book because it is the same author as Wemberley Worried, but it was not as engaging! I would use this book for repetition, and it could even be tied into science because of all the animals discussed.
OH! Is a great children's book that describes two children waking up to snow and then they play in the snow and it describes animals. It would be a great book to read during winter and young children would enjoy it.

Oh! I would have loved to see Mr. Henkes illustrate this book! Snow is OH so much fun for everyone. A quick, little read aloud when the snow begins to fall . . .
Mommy says: This book was a little basic for the 6yo.

Animals and children play in the snow.
Cute and simple!
I just wasn't impressed with this book. It felt a little dumbed-down and childish. But, afterall, it is a Children's Book. The pictures were fairly nice, and aside from the very simplistic text, I think some people would still enjoy this book. I just didn't care for it.

Another fun book by Kevin Henkes; this story is about playing in the snow. Fun pictures and a quick read. Not much to it, but great to read aloud on a cold day.
