Only a few days left until Christmas! And we're dreaming of a white one...dreaming because it's not going to happen. So, to help with these dreams, I'm throwing in a book which is all about snowflakes, white landscapes, and frosty fun. This one has punch-outs the entire way through and is a board book for even young readers.
ALL THE LITTLE SNOWFLAKES
by Cindy Jin
Illustrated by Dawn M. Cardona
Little Simon
Board Book
18 pages
ages 0 to 5
Celebrate winter in this rhyming board book featuring die-cut snowflakes on every page!
All the little snowflakes fall down to the ground
As bright city lights twinkle all around.
A wintry celebration full of snow and all things that sparkle, this novelty board book reminds us that everyone is one of a kind—just like each special snowflake that falls from the sky.
MY TIDBITS
Snowflake and playful dreams join peaceful thoughts in this cute, little board book.
I'm a sucker for board books with the extra, little special something...and this one has small cut-outs/peep holes the entire way through. The book has the usual, nice, sturdy board book sizing and quality, meaning it will hold up in smaller hands. The illustrations are bright and bold, but not overly simplified. For those who enjoy very direct illustrations in board books, these will come across a little more busy. But I, personally, prefer them this way so kids can always discover something new. The scenes do include some which will connect with young listeners, who know snow...or snow dreamers.
The text is just right for ages 2 to 5. It's short and builds the scenes as well as the excitement for snow. This book is all about playing in snow but also slides more along the lines of experiencing the falling snow. Not only as it falls but also when it ends... and the hope it will start up again. Simply said, it's a celebration of snow.
And here they are...
