Sally’s Snow Day

PreS-K–A fun little book for young children. Exuberant color illustrations show a child with light skin and brownish hair, no gender stated or implied, preparing to take dog Sally for a walk in the snow. There’s a coat to zip and boots to put on four paws. At the park, there are dogs and people of v­arious sizes and colors: “No two snowflakes are the same. No two pups are the same either.” The people begin making snowdogs, and “Sally sniffs them all” and then heads home for a nap and “dreams of snowdogs.” The narrative is upbeat and provides opportunities for counting and talking about dressing to go outside. This is precisely a preschooler’s experience of a snowy day. Nothing happens, but everything does! The bright cartoon style drawings use black lines and color shading to provide detail.
