Millions of Snowflakes

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully illustrated !!!
Review: I absolutely love the illustrations in this book! Elizabeth Sayles did a terrific job of capturing a young Asain girls romp in the snow! This book makes me hope it will snow a little this winter, just so my daughter & I can go out in the snow and relive the book together!

Summary: Quiet and magical - not unlike falling snow
Review: I sought out this book to buy after getting it from our local library for my 19-month-old daughter. At first, it seemed like a snoozer as I paged through it at the library, but I added it to our pile anyway. It seemed timely, if nothing else since it was winter here. My daughter surprised me later when we opened it at home. Before I began reading, she pointed furiously at the pictures. "Boots!" She said as she identified the little girl's snow gear. Same with her scarf and snowsuit. She then proceeded to imitate the pictures pretending to catch snowflakes on her eyes, her hand and her tongue, saying "yum, yum" along as I read. She even learned how to make a snow angel from the illustration. When we were done, I often got her little "again" to go back to the beginning. So, I was wrong. It was a hit. A very soft-spoken, gentle rhyme and picture book that captures the magic of falling snow for toddlers.

Summary: Wonderful Pictures, Beautiful Words
Review: Mary McKenna Siddals has captured the beauty and joy of a young child's playful interaction with snowflakes. This is a book to read aloud with a baby or toddler on your lap. These evocative rhymes perfectly compliment Elizabeth Sayles lovely pastel illustrations of the uninhibited joy of a child in the snow. Millions of Snowflakes is a book that begs to be read again and again. It's a counting book that teaches the numbers 1-5. This however is just an additional bonus to it's value as a great read-aloud book for very young children.
