The first snow has fallen. The mice children go sledding with Grandma and Grandpa. But at the top of the hill, who will go first? Bitty, the smallest mouse, is scared. When she tries, WHEEEEEE, she finds that sledding is the best Caldecott Medalist Emily Arnold McCully captured the chills and thrills of a first sled ride when first snow was published in 1985. She has added words and created new pictures for this handsome larger edition, a companion to picnic.
First Snow was a delightful story about a mouse family that goes sledding on the first day it snows. One little mouse is frightened but eventually learns how fun it is to sled down a big hill. It is a wordless picture book which allows children to "read" this book a little differently every time. This book is my 3 year old daughters favorite. It's wonderful to see how she translates the pictures into words based upon the expressions on the faces of the mice. She imagines what they are saying and how they are feeling. I thouroughly enjoy "reading" it with her every night to see what different ideas she finds. I beleive it is a great learning tool for preschoolers.
