Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2-With the same tender charm that has made other books about Mouse's first experiences popular, Thompson and Erdogan explore the joy that comes with a first encounter with snow. Mouse gets to sled, skate, and build a grand snow house with his father's unswerving support. "Good for you!" exclaims Poppa after Mouse swishes down a hill. Other efforts are encouraged with "Hooray!," "Good work!," and "Wonderful!" Finally the two build "A frosty little snow mouse just like you!" and the book concludes with wishes for a "Happy winter." In the sweet acrylic paintings, the snow is cool and luminous, yet the scenes remain warm. Child-friendly language, complete with some simple sound effects and repeated phrases, make this title a solid winter read-aloud.-Piper L.
