Snow Day


Laminack, Lester L., Snow Day. Illustrated by: Adam Gustavson. Peach Tree: 2007. ISBN: 978-1-56145-418-1.

Someone hears the weatherman say that they will get snow. He fantasizes school being cancelled and being able to sake a snow fort, watch television, go sledding, and do many other winter activities. Unfortunately, when they wake up the next day, they lookout the window and notice kids walking to school! Will they arrive at school on time? If you want to know you should read this book to find out. I enjoyed this book primarily because of the surprising twist at the end, and the fact that it was about school being cancelled because of snow. The art work was created using oils on paper. The illustrations are creatively drawn. I would recommend this book for first through fifth grades.
