Synopsis

Snowflakes dot the sky as Lily and Trooper awaken one winter morning. They know that frosty fun is in store! First, they dress up a snowman. Then a ski adventure lands them headfirst in a snowy heap and they call it a day. Warm inside, they remember the snowman and rush outside only to watch him turn into a large puddle. It's definitely time to tuck into a dry, warm bed.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Young Lily and her dog Trooper star in these two disappointing seasonal stories. In the first one, the two companions wake up and discover that the leaves are falling and autumn has arrived. They spend their day playing in the leaves, rain, and wind. At night, they hunker down in their cozy, warm bed. Next, it snows during the night and the pair wake up to discover that winter is here. They build a snowman, go skating, ski, and try to take their snowman home. While Spetter uses vibrant colors, the pictures do little to move the plots along and Lily's expression remains the same whether she's discovering the first snow of the season, skiing out of control down a mountain, or having a warm bath. The simple synopsis of the child's days offers little to hold youngsters' interest. Alexandra Day's "Carl" books (Farrar) are a lot more successful in conveying a loving relationship between dog and child.
