(3) K-3 Andy & Sandy series. In this accessibly written beginning reader, Sandy enthusiastically introduces Andy to the joys of sledding, making snow angels, and building a snowman. Andy is dubious at first: "Snow is very wet and VERY COLD." But in the amusing ending, the roles reverse with Sandy ready to go warm up inside with hot chocolate. DePaola's uncluttered acrylic and colored pencil illustrations showcase the wintertime fun.
