A library patron turned me on to this book and it's a riot! A great read-aloud, read-it-by-yourself, read-it-with-a-friend, whatever. The main character (story is done in first person)awakes very excited to play in the snow but then he pauses to consider all the "what ifs." For instance, What if..."I can't stop the sled and the wind bites my nose and I can't see a thing 'cause my eyeballs are froze?" Also, "And my mittens are soggy and they smell like old cheese and my nose starts to run and the...more
A little boy gets ready to go play in the snow, but as he does he imagines all sorts of unlikely scenarios. He finally decides it is better to stay inside. This was a cute picture book, perfect for K-2 story time, though not my favorite illustrations.
JP A boy imagines all the bad things that could happen if he goes outside in the cold...very funny, imaginative and in rhyme. For younger elem.
HILARIOUS! I literally laughed out loud. This is one that made me wish I did storytimes for older kids.
Hilarious! Maybe because I feel like I relate...:)
Absolutely adorable. Sure to be a winter favorite.
Hilarious!!
A fun book, this would work well for a read-aloud with school-age children. It's not especially well-written, but the abundant rhymes actually do work well for the most part... and I enjoyed the tone and the humor. The young narrator's overwhelming anxiety and the worst-case scenarios which keep (literally) snowballing were perfect reading for a day in January. The illustrations are fun and work well with the book's tone. I liked it.
i loved this book!! so funny. it's about a boy who gets up one winter morning and things just start to go down hill from there. Very haillarous!
