Customer Reviews

One of my favorite Lois Lenski books

I like this book very much. The book is written in verse and is very rhythmical and catchy...a small child could easily learn this little poem story if it is read to them often. It tells of all the fun things a child does in winter...making snowmen, sledding, ice skating, snowball fights, getting ready for Christmas, Christmas Day, and even makes mention of Valentine's Day, which IS a winter holiday! Yes, this book does mention Jesus and as a Christian I like that...He is my King! This book also mentions Santa Claus...we don't have our children believe in Santa, to them he is just a fun story, so Santa in this book isn't an offense to me. Like all Lois Lenski's books, she is very sensitive to a child's mind and what a child likes. Her books are always simple, calm, peaceful, kind, which is why I believe they have stood the test of time...this one is 55 yrs. old and still loved so much. A cute little book for any child and would make a nice Christmas present or even a stocking stuffer, as it is small and "child sized".

A Bedtime Favorite

A lovely, short, rhyming book for children from toddler age to early readers. Children love the rhymes and the simple, pleasing illustrations. This is a bedtime favorite of my nephews aged 1 1/2 to 5. Nothing in here to give nightmares! I am so glad they are re-printing these Lois Lenski books we enjoyed in the 50's when I was a child.

A Book Your Child Will Always Remember

The pace, the illustrations, and the easy to remember phrases are the type that will keep your child engaged and asking for this book over some of the more flashy newer titles. Buy this book, read it to your kids and they will remember it for a very long time.
