PreS—This lyrical title about enjoying winter, snow, and friends can be sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot." It starts with, "I'm a little snow pal, head to toes. Here are my buttons, here is my nose." The accompanying illustration shows a traditional snowman with a top hat, carrot nose, stick arms, and gloves for hands. A rabbit, deer, and cardinal are shown in the background; along with other animals, they will show up on later pages as the adventure continues. Other snow people, including a snow gal with a sweater, are also introduced in this upbeat title about snow friends. Cheerful illustrations support the accompanying text; they are clear, easy to decipher, and can lend themselves to discussion with young readers. At the end of the book, the snow people joyfully sing, and the animals have a good time, too. The text closes with, "We are little snow friends big and small. Snow pals and snow buds, one and all. Now the snow has fallen, let's have fun! So happy snow day to everyone!" VERDICT A recommended addition to library collections in need of new titles on winter and snow.—Robin Sofge

Snow pals celebrate winter’s chill.

This board book bounces along to the rhyming cadence of “I’m a Little Teapot” with short stanzas like “I’m a little snow pal, / head to toes. / Here are my buttons, / here is my nose.” The snow pals enjoy winter’s cold by welcoming snowflakes, spending time with snow friends, and more. For the most part, the rhymes read smoothly, but a couple have awkward rhythms that might trip up a read-aloud. The illustrations depict an idyllic winter’s day, with a bright blue sky, crisp white snow, birch trees, and red berries. The animal friends are darling: A tiny chipmunk cavorts on a snow gal’s shoulder, playful bunnies prance, and a curious owl looks on. One layout shows the perspective from below the snow pals as they gaze up into the sky as flakes fall and an owl soars overhead, immersing readers in the moment. With a short page count, a bouncy rhythm, and simple, appealing illustrations, this book will charm little ones. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

A familiar rhyming structure and quick pace make this an ideal one for babies and toddlers alike. (Board book. 0-2)
