Review: Just a Snowy Day

Just a Snowy Day by Mercer Mayer (HarperFestival, 2006)

Little Critter wants to go out and play in the snow. He puts on his smooth, shiny boots, his hat with the fuzzy pom-pom, and his coat with the warm, fuzzy lining. As he gets dressed, young readers can feel his boots, hat, and coat in this cute, interactive book.

Very young readers will love playing with Little Critter as he has fun in the snow, warms up inside, and goes to bed.  Open the door for Little Critter. Make him wobble on the ice. Feel the smooth, shiny icicles. Give his sled a pull. Smell his hot chocolate. Help him take a shower by pulling the shower curtain open. And finally, tuck him into bed with a warm, soft blanket.

This is a good lap book for adults and kids to enjoy together.
