The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every child’s bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season. New York Public Library's #1 book on the list of “Top Check Outs of All Time” In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The quiet fun and sweetness of Peter’s small adventures in the deep, deep snow is perfect for reading together on a cozy winter day. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles , A Letter to Amy , Pet Show! , Peter’s Chair , and A Whistle for Willie . (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve. ) Praise for The Snowy Day : “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” — The Atlantic “Ezra Jack Keats’s classic The Snowy Day , winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow.”— Publisher’s Weekly Review: Nice book - Lovely book, my child loves it! Review: I got sturdy board book - I got sturdy board book, loved by my 3.5 year old. Always asks me n number of times to read aloud. My kid likes Peter who explores snowy day to its fullest and dreams about snow. wonderful informative book too beyond the imagination of beautiful snow. There is an instance in the book where big boys involve in the snow fight throwing snow balls across, but this peter knew he should not participate in the snow ball fight as he is too small so he decides to make beautiful smiling snowman. My kid got delighted when he saw Peteres snow sinked footprints correlating it to his water footprints. Its a great book. Must buy book. Thanks desertcart for your quality cum timely delivery.

Simple yet meaningful illustrations and story
My son is 2 years 3 months and absolutely loves this book. The illustrations are simple yet meaningful, something that a child of that age can relate to. The size of the book is perfect for him to hold and flip the sturdy board bookpages on his own.i bought this book while on a discount,hence totally worth the money.

Klein aber fein
Vor allem durch die Geschehnisse der letzten Wochen in den USA ist uns bewusst geworden, dass wir genau 0 Bücher haben, in denen auch Kinder mit anderen ethnischen Hintergründen vorkommen. Es ist bewiesen, dass die Bevorzugung der eigenen "Farbe" schon im Säuglingsalter beginnt und Kinder auch schon im Kleinkindalter lieber mit Anderen spielen die ihnen am ähnlichsten sind, so beginnt Rassismus. Es ist aber auch schon belegt, dass man dem entgegen wirken kann, indem man Kinder von Anfang an multikulturellen "Möglichkeiten" aussetzt. Gesagt, getan, Bücher, Filme, Spiele gesucht und gekauft die auch endlich mal andere Kinder in den Vordergund rücken. Unser 2 Jähriger sieht endlich auch afrikanische, asiatische, indische, etc. Kinder die ihre Abenteuer erleben und Geschichten erzählen. Er sieht, dass es normal ist, und dass es mehr als "nur" uns gibt. Dieses Buch ist ein kleines Buch mit Kartonseiten die bestimmt viel aushalten. Man kann sie auch schon einem kleinen Kind schenken. Es geht um Peter, der das erste Mal Schnee erlebt und sich Abenteuer vorstellt. Es ist sehr süß gemacht und wir werden definitiv wieder Bücher von diesem Autor kaufen. Unser Sohn liebt Bücher, er hat das Buch bekommen und er hat gleich nach dem fertig lesen wieder zum Anfang geblättert und von Vorne angefangen. Er liebt Peters Abenteuer und ich freue mich schon sehr auf die nächsten Bücher die wir bestellt haben.
