From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. The joys of winter are celebrated by a trio of siblings in this cheerful picture book. Attractive watercolor scenes show the children enjoying traditional winter activities like ice-skating, making snow angels, and sledding, while bouncy, rhyming verse describes the action. In addition to the familiar activities, there are scenes showing the children engaged in activities specific to the book's particular northern setting: "Winter is black, / spilling night into day. / We watch northern lights / start to flicker and sway." The children "mush homeward" on a dogsled and quietly observe moose, fox, and owl. Such elements make the story useful in the classroom as an aid to a social studies or science unit. For younger children, the book can be used to introduce or reinforce the concept of changing seasons. In the last three spreads, Dwyer does an especially nice job of conveying the transition from winter to spring. As patches of snow disappear, "the world is light, leafy green." After a reading, have youngsters write, draw, or talk about their own favorite winter activities. Lauren Peterson
