Larry Likes the Snow
Discover the Joy of Winter Through the Eyes of a Lovable Lab
Larry Likes the Snow is a heartwarming children's picture book that celebrates the beauty of winter, the thrill of discovery, and the comfort of staying close to those who love you. Written by Marvin McKenzie and inspired by real life in Republic, Washington, this gentle story follows Larry the Lab as he wakes up to a world covered in sparkling white snow. For Larry, every snowflake brings adventure-and every adventure brings a lesson worth learning.
Young readers will delight as Larry bounds through fresh drifts, sniffs mysterious animal tracks, plays with children tossing snowballs, and helps build a cheerful snowman. But in all the fun and excitement, Larry suddenly realizes he has run too far. The snowy world feels bigger than he expected, and for a moment, he feels alone. That's when Larry remembers to stop, listen, and look for the voices of the people who care for him. And when he hears them calling, his tail wags with joy as he hurries back into their arms.
