Book Reviews of The Snowy Day Board Book
Book Review: It's a Blizzard Inside
Summary: 3 Stars
Ezra Jack Keats does as outstanding job with his use of sight and sound words although the art work he used in this book is horrible!! I think first graders could have did a better job than that. Maybe next time the author should find a new artist. The story is something the children will enjoy, but without good pictures the children do not always stay interested. After reading many childrens' books this is definitely not one for entertainment. I would recommend this book for the use of learning details only. I know this would not have been my first choice when I was a child.Book Review: Timeless classic for pre-schoolers.
Summary: 5 Stars
The reader follows the activity of a small boy from wake-up to out-of-doors play and back to bath and bed.The mystery of the missing snowball adds gentle humor.
Children delight in the details and enjoy acting out the adventure in pantomine. It happens that the child is not Caucasian, but race is not important to the story, just as it should be! Winner of the Caldecott award for outstanding illustration in 1963 and still fresh.
Book Review: It's a classic (and a Caldecott Medal winner) for a reason!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is part of my standard baby shower gift package along with Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. With very few words it manages to tell a very simple, yet very elegant story that young children can relate to. The pictures are beautiful and draw children further into the story. As an added bonus, the main character is African-American. Though it makes no difference to the story, it was important to me as a child reading this book 25 years ago to see a kid that looked like me in a book where race was not the focus of the plot, and is important to children of any race reading it today. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for any child of any race, boy or girl.Book Review: Relive the wonderments of nature!

This book takes a child through an outdoor experience with snow. Many children have no experience with snow, so this book gives preschoolers a wonderful first experience with the mysteries of snow.Book Review: A story which reminds us of the wonderfulness of childhood

In The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats, a small boy relishes in the wonder of a newly fallen snow. This is a simple tale that will hold preschoolers rapt with anticipation of what this beautiful snow will hold for the boy. It is written in a way that pulls children into the story, and helps them imagine and remember their own adventures.
