K-Gr 4–Amos loves a snowy day--whenever one is predicted, the beautifully illustrated picture book follows Amos as he prepares all the animals at the zoo with necessary knitwear. Not only a fun read-aloud, this book explores many different elementary concepts. From weather to zoo animals to warm winter items of clothing, this would fit any primary or elementary collection. Erin Stead uses wood block and pencil to showcase the ongoing story as well as provide a glimpse into secondary or background information. The illustrator also has several pages without print which would provide an excellent opportunity to “read” the picture for key information.
VERDICT This book would be an excellent addition to any elementary collection or one that helps build an understanding of winter vocabulary.
