The Snow Day by Ezra Jack Keats

The Snow Day won the Caldecott medal for capturing all the wonders of the first snow fall. This book is about a young boy named Peter who can not wait to go play in the new snow. Peter made snowmen, snow angles, tracks, tried to play with the big boys in a snow ball fight and played with his friends. Also, these illustrations seemed to be made out of construction paper, stamps of snowflakes. Personally, I would use this book in my classroom during the winter season. The Snow Day can show children all the wonderful activities they can do outside in the winter weather.
