From Library Journal
Originating in Europe in the mid-19th century, this highly imaginative paperweight-turned-collectible captured the hearts and spirit of people everywhere, becoming the ultimate international souvenir. McMichael explores its origin in a "whole dome history" section and from there takes the reader on a fun-filled kaleidoscopic fantasy trip through the countless varieties and types of snowdomes, from commemorative to religious, commercial to historic scenes. Colorful illustrations highlight the fine crafting of the turn-of-the-century snowdomes, which gave way to the ultra-tacky plastic and kitsch versions of the 1950s and 1960s. A delightful book for children and adults alike that should make its way into all public libraries.
