“On Monday, it starts to snow. Silent swirling. How high will it go?” Snow continues to fall through the week, with the question “how high will it go?” repeated daily. A mouse sees the first fluttering flakes, a fox leaps over a drift on Wednesday, and by Sunday only the antler of a roaming moose is visible above a snow bank. The following week shows a warming trend as the snow quickly melts and the animals from the previous week reappear in reverse order. Even mouse is able to lounge under a newly blooming wildflower by Sunday, when the animals celebrate the seasonal shift. “Trees budding, birds singing, everyone’s springing.” Indeed, spring has arrived—or has it? New snowflakes dot the air on the final pages. Watercolors, pastels, and Photoshop combined in the creation of a charming cast of woodland creatures and the soft hues of their changing landscape.

(Ages 2-6)

A beautifully illustrated, rollicking read-aloud about forest animals who are caught—literally up to their ears and antlers—in a snowstorm.

On Monday, it starts to snow.
Silent swirling.
How high will it go?

Follow seven forest creatures, from a tiny mouse to a giant moose, as they hunker down in a snowstorm. As the week progresses, the snow piles up and up--even past Moose's antlers!

On Sunday, the sun starts to melt the snow, and it seems that, as the next week passes and it grows sunnier, spring has finally sprung. But wait...is that more snow?! This cumulative picture book is at once beautiful and lyrical and playful and joyful, with charming illustrations by a highly acclaimed illustrator.
