Snow Globe Family

(2) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Ingeniously combining children's fascination with snow globes and miniature worlds, this book presents the parallel lives of the big family and the little family that lives in the snow globe on their mantel. Unlike, say, The Doll People, this is a benevolent, menace-free vision of the miniature. And in the inevitable shake-up, Schindler's illustrations depict not injury and chaos but slapstick humor.
