(2) PS Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. New snow is celebrated in verse that will have preschoolers chanting along by the second reading. A young girl builds a snowman, sleds with a friend, and quickly recovers from a crash, rounding off with a return indoors for cocoa. Westcott propels the proceedings with spring-loaded, cartoony drawings and cheery colors, adding a dog and kitten for additional bounce and humor.
