A boy looks out at snow, trees, people, and other things from his apartment window

From Publishers Weekly:
Wong's brief text-waking up on a snowy morning, a boy "looking down on the street" glimpses various objects outside-offers little that's new, instead focusing the reader's attention on Rich's inviting artwork. Ranging from closeups of the youngster getting dressed, brushing his hair, etc., to panoramic views of the city's trees, streets and buildings blanketed with snow, these borderless, full-spread illustrations contrast the familial warmth inside with the wintry beauty of the outdoors. Though many elements seem rudimentary (wooden facial expressions, stiffly rendered fingers and hands), the paintings' intense coloration, bold outlines and frequent aerial perspectives coalesce into a visually engaging whole. The artist's portraits of a loving African American family in an apparently multicultural neighborhood create for preschoolers a safe and welcoming city landscape. Ages 2-8.

PreSchool-K?A very simple story with a repetitive text. "Looking down on the street" sets the stage for a young boy who wakes to the excitement of freshly fallen snow. As he prepares for his day, grooming and breakfast are interrupted by brief interludes of window gazing. He sees freshly fallen snow on rooftops, streets, and sidewalks. Animal tracks and footprints are evident. People begin to gather and trucks come to plow. The child's excitement peaks when he sees his friend and rushes outside to play. The text contains only 57 words; the delight is in the rich, expansive full-color paintings that capture a culturally mixed group of people enjoying the season. A delightful story for a winter preschool story hour.?Barbara Osborne Williams, Queens Borough Public Library, Jamaica, NY
