Review Detail

This story is a fun celebration of the joys of the first snowfall of the season on the farm. I like that the book shows that the animals do have a cozy place in the barn so more sensitive readers do not worry. Then the animals have fun catching snowflakes on their tongues. The repetitive refrain used is great for younger readers to be able to say along and “read” with their grownups. The rhyming sing-song text allows for a fun read-aloud. I like the secret at the end that the farmer also likes to catch snowflakes on his tongue. This book has the same fun quality that Doreen Cronin’s Click Clack Moo books making this a great choice for fans of her books. The fun facts about farm animals in the winter and snowflakes make for a nice addition to the back material.
