Teaches About a Snow Day
Published by CR38ART , 2 years ago
This book teaches kids what a snow day is and what kids typically do during a snow day. The illustrations are great and the story is enjoyable. I would definitely read this to a child during the month of January.
Fun & TRUE!

As I live in a snowy part of the country, when I saw the title I knew I had to purchase Snow Day! I knew my students could relate to the character's anticipation of a day off from school - little did I realize how much *I* would relate, too! Fun read aloud for elementary age students.
It doesn't happen often enough

Nothing thrills the heart of a child more than the prospect of a day home from school. So when the weatherman predicts an overnight snowfall, his words jump-start the imagination. What will we do tomorrow when we're snowed in? The mind reels at the possibilities! But as with many dreams devoutly to be wished, stark reality shows up with vastly different plans. This picture book confirms the fact that no matter how old you are, the term "snow day" just might be the most exciting and magical phrase in the English language. Lester Laminack's story is "spot on." Adam Gustavson's colorful and realistic illustrations provide snapshots that lead readers into believing they know how the book will turn out. Gotcha! A great read-along for parents and children, and it's difficult to judge who might enjoy the story more.
Who doesn't love a Snow Day?

This book was introduced to me at a teacher's workshop. This book is great for upper elementary literacy lessons - including writer's and reader's workshops - as well as a great wintery bedtime story. It is great for teaching point of view. This is a fun story with a cute twist at the end!
