K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Holly Keller.
A simple text ponders both the benefits and challenges of snow. Branley discusses how snow protects dormant plants, hibernating animals, and some people from the wind and cold, as well as how heavy snowfall affects springtime flooding. Keller's new illustrations are a good match for the spare, informative text. A few easy activities explore snow's different properties, and a list of websites is appended.
