I realized that I haven’t been documenting my daughter’s selections from her elementary school library, which are mostly what she calls “fact books,” so here we go…This is a nice introductory book about snow, which was exceptionally appropriate for reading during the long harsh Iowa winter of early 2019. Plus I learned something that I didn’t know – snow is a crystal, which basically means that it has a symmetrical shape. So that’s what distinguishes it from ice, I guess…

This was a great book. It has beautiful photos and short sentences to describe how snow is created. I could see using this book for part of a story time in the winter. Children are curious about how things like snow come to be, and this book explains it in simple terms for them.

An early elementary guide to snow including how it's created and falls.
