Sally is going out in the snow!

It's a winter's day and Sally the dog is headed to the park! But first she has to put on some warm clothes: coat and boots. It's not easy to zip up a pup, but finally she's ready to sniff and snout her way through the snow. At the park she finds other pups to play with and sees people rolling snowballs to make snowdogs of all shapes and sizes! Sally sniffs them all before saying goodbye to her new friends and heading back home for a well-earned snooze.

Review Quotes

"A perfect book to celebrate winter fun."

-- "The Globe and Mail"

"It is a joy to follow along on Sally's adventures. The simple language and bright and cheerful illustrations are inviting to young children, and the book encourages interaction and conversation. Children can follow along with the book, counting Sally's four boots as she puts them on, and they can think about what they need to wear to play in the snow. Highly recommended."
