From Booklist:

PreS-K. The creators of books such as Mouse's First Halloween (2000) and Mouse's First Spring (2005) offer a new picture book in which the familiar little mouse encounters snow for the first time. Poppa shows Mouse the many ways of enjoying winter: sledding, skating, and making snow angels, a snow house, and even a large-scale snow mouse. Suitably brief, the text uses plenty of sound words to accompany activities, such as "Swish, wish!" as the father sweeps large angel wings in the snow and "Flap, flop!" for Mouse's first attempt at making wings. "Wonderful!" exclaims Poppa. In the paintings, simple, rounded forms predominate, and dabs of white brighten the scenes as light reflects off the cool blue snow. For all the ice and snow depicted, this picture book continually radiates warmth as this happy little mouse and loving father enjoy a day together. Preschool teachers will want to have this pleasing picture book on hand for reading aloud as the snowflakes start to fall. Carolyn Phelan
