This is a visually engaging book and one that children would enjoy paging through. It's definitely not a read-aloud. It's a coffee table book, and, like many coffee table books designed for adults, it makes a good browsing book for children. We're always talking about snowflakes, but this really shows the breadth snd variety of them. My only criticism is that it has too many pages. Children and adults alike can only be interested in so many snowflake photos.

A lot of pictures of snowflakes. Someone might find hundreds of pictures of snowflakes a bit repetitive, I found it quite meditative.
Snow is beautiful.

This mainly consists of hundreds of photographs of all different kinds of snowflakes. There are poetry excerpts and quotes all related to nature/human aspiration and some which are more winter themed. The photographs are incredible.
