Rhyming, minimal text coupled with fetching illustrations by Davenier expertly convey the exhilarating drama of entering into a snowstorm as well as the comfy feelings of being in a warm house while the weather is frightful. The fact that the text never explains who the guest is will allow for a nice discussion.

The protagonists’ fears and worries are completely relatable and readers will joyfully join in the refrain of, “I’m brave! I’m strong! I’m five!” A first purchase for libraries serving young children.
