REVIEW: HAPPY WORLD SNOW DAY!

​Did you know the third Sunday in January is World Snow Day? That sounds like the perfect reason to read all about a group of animals who celebrate more than a week of snow:

​
TITLE: SO MUCH SNOW

AUTHOR: Kristen Schroeder

ILLUSTRATOR: Sarah Jacoby

PUBLISHER: Random House Studio/2022

​OPENING LINES: 
 
On Monday, it starts to snow.
Silent swirling.
How high will it go?

On Tuesday, we get more snow.
Flakes floating.
How high will it go?

This picture book follows a group of woodland creatures who celebrate as snow falls, each wondering, “How high will it go?” Kristen Schroeder’s lyrical and layered text includes an introduction to the days of the week, animals from small to large, circular storytelling structure, and repetition. She expertly weaves a story whose arc rises gently and then descends to a conclusion that will have readers begging to read the book again and again. Sarah Jacoby’s darling, watercolor illustrations capture the magic of snowfall and the joyful expressions of the animal characters as they frolic in the snow. I have a soft spot for bunnies, illustrated end papers, and surprise “undies” covers under the dust jacket, and this book ticks all those boxes, and then some. A perfect read aloud for a group or for a cozy lap-read by the fire, SO MUCH SNOW is a must for your bookshelf!
