Description



About the Book



Someone is very, very excited about the possibility of missing school due to snow, and plans a whole day of sledding, building forts, reading, and sipping hot chocolate rather than going to school for that test on chapter ten.



Book Synopsis



Everyone loves a snow day! Award-winning author Lester L. Laminack provides a clever take on a familiar childhood wish. An unexpected twist is sure to surprise and delight young readers.

When the weatherman predicts a big snowfall, it's hard not to imagine the fun-filled adventures of an unscheduled school holiday! You can build snowmen, go sledding, have snowball fights--the possibilities are endless.

Except when the family wakes up that next morning, they find no snow! School is happening, and all their dreams of a winter wonderland are gone. But as the family piles into the car to head to school, an unexpected twist reveals who wanted the snow day most of all.

Adam Gustavson's expressive illustrations comically capture the excitement of pure possibility in author Lester L. Laminack's thoroughly original tale.



Review Quotes




"Laminack generates the increasingly hopeful energy to a fever pitch. . . Gustavson creates a festive mood with his oil illustrations, so luxurious and ample they feel like bundles of winter clothing, topped with bright scarves."--Kirkus Reviews

"The mostly two-page illustrations are rich in color, texture, perspective, and kinesthetic energy."--School Library Journal

"The illustrations, in muted oils, show the jubilant family anticipating the snow and the activities that they would undertake. The figures fill the pages giving a sense of intimacy, and the scenes are viewed from a variety of perspectives, adding to the excitement and chaos. Children (and parents) will identify with the strong wish for a day away from the routine, as well as the mad rush when things don't pan out."--Booklist
