Snowed In

Very short, but very good. I liked that the library helped out the family that was going to be snowed in for the winter.

I greatly appreciate family centered lifestyles, and then I love reading together, homeschooling, Dad taking the lead, and of course water colors. So this book is simple enough and detailed enough for a balanced story for kids.

Snow’s coming. In this frontier location, snow means no school for months, so go to the library to stock up on books. Great story!

Familiar circumstances of a snow day, with a longer time span--all winter! It's like a modern-day, short version of The Long Winter, based on real events. The illustrator's soft watercolors, well-researched, tell the tale in pictures, and are sure to draw the reader to this book as one to read again and again.

Nostalgic and cozy. Wanted to love it but I'll have to settle for really liking it.

I enjoyed the pictures and got what the author was trying to write, however there was a couple places that made me wonder. Not one of the better early reader books I've come across.

Sweet little book set in pioneer times.
