Splat the Cat really wants it to snow so he can build a snowcat.  He waits and waits for  some snow and tries to make some snow of his own.  Then it starts snowing but only lightly.  Will it snow enough for Splat the Cat to make his snowcat?

This is a great winter book for beginner readers.  There is a lot of repetition of words as well as long o rhyming words.

Little Squirrel finds a beautiful snowflake. He decides he doesn’t want to share his snowflake with anyone. He learns a lesson about sharing in this wonderful story. The illustrations are beautiful. Children will want to touch the sparkly, painted snowflake. I recommend this book for the primary school classroom library as well as your home library.

My son and I enjoyed this book together.
