Snow will cover everything? “I can’t wait!” Caldecott Medalist Eric Rohmann gives us a charming, gentle story that both respectfully acknowledges a child’s fear of the unknown and celebrates the power of a positive outlook. But the fourth kitten takes a different view. As the seasons pass and winter begins to loom, three skittish kittens worry. This unknown thing called snow is a little bit. The first three kittens are wary-snow is cold, it’s wet, it covers everything. Annotation: From the Caldecott Medal–winning author of My Friend Rabbit comes a tale of four kittens discovering the four seasons, now in a board book edition perfect for the youngest readers! Four kittens have never seen the snow.I wish I had had an older age flannelboard ready to go for this one (probably The Mitten), but they seemed to like Snowball, Snowball since they got to participate.
