Book Thoughts: The Big Snow (Hader)

  • a peaceful read that follows many types of animals and their preparations for winter
  • beautiful illustrations (some colored, some b&w)
  • clean language

Type: longer picture book
Ages: 6-9
Authors: Berta & Elmer Hader

They’ve all been preparing for winter, as normal, but this year the snow is really big. What’s a hungry creature to do?

The story is written very matter-of-factly, but it could still be a lovely read-aloud with the right inflections 🙂

It was copyrighted in 1948 and is still easy to find at libraries, so that tells you a little something about its quality! Great for a late-fall or winter read.
