Book recommendation: The Snowy Day

Buy it: The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day (By Ezra Jack Keats) – This is a classic book about the simple pleasures a child can find playing in the snow. Peter wakes up one winter morning and sees all the new snow that has fallen during the night. He puts on his snowsuit and heads outside. He enjoys seeing the footprints he makes in the snow and dragging a stick behind him to make a new track. He climbs of snowbank, makes a snowman and snow angels. Before going inside, he puts a snowball in his pocket. But before going to bed, he looks for the snowball and it’s gone. The next morning, Peter heads out into the snow again with his friend.
