Ideal for ages 4 to 6, its soothing rhythm and simple plot make it a wonderful choice for a reassuring bedtime read that celebrates the quiet magic of a snowy night and the comfort of togetherness.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics in this book. The initial feeling of being cold and alone is resolved quickly and gently with the arrival of friends. The approach is entirely secular and focused on the natural world.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a sensitive, quiet preschooler (ages 4-6) who is perhaps feeling a bit lonely at bedtime or is curious about what happens in the world while they are tucked in their bed. It is also excellent for a child who is easily overstimulated and needs a story with a very low-stakes, predictable, and reassuring plot.
