Snow Wonder

by Charles Ghigna

WHEN TWO CHILDREN wake up to find that it has snowed, they spend the day riding sleds, building snowmen, making snow angels, skating a figure eight, and even taking a break to make gingerbread cookies with grandma. It’s a day filled with wonderful wintry fun!

In simple, rhymed text new readers get to experience the wonder of that magical first snow fall. Includes two pages of festive stickers!

Reviews

[Suzanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of the rhymes were a s-t-r-e-t-c-h, but overall it was cute.

[Rose Rosetree · Rating 5 out of 5]

In keeping with the poetic title, the emphasis in this easy reader book is twofold:

* Snow
* And wonder

This story is a contagious celebration of childhood, all conveyed in very few words. With some rhymes sprinkled in, too. And zero cliches. Excellent all around!

FIVE STARS to author Charles Ghigna and illustrator Julia Woolf.

An easy reader with rhyming words that celebrates the wonder of snow and the coziness of wintertime activities.

[Elizabeth · Rating 1 out of 5]

I adore Charles Ghigna books and I was severely disappointed by this book.
Lackluster text combines with literal pink for girls, blue for boys illustrations. Ew, just ew.

[Tricia · Rating 3 out of 5]

As easy readers go, this one had appealing illustrations and rhymes to assist the preschool-grade 1 level reader. Story stems from a brother and sister enjoying a wintery day in typical ways.

Cute early reader for winter time.
