[Kylie Hodgson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book really helps children understand the process behind snow and what it takes to create snow. This book uses fun graphs and facts to educate children and show them how snow forms and what weather conditions need to be in place for snow to form and such things like that. I really enjoyed the illustrations of this informational book because they were kid friendly and told a story to the reader about children playing in the snow.
