THE BIG SNOW

A beautiful picture book with so slight a text that it can be ignored with the very little children -- and used with the next step up who are themselves beginning to be interested in feeding the birds and animals in the winter. For that is what this book is about. The Haders are at their best in drawing animals and this, with forty full page pictures, half of them in color, has some of the best work they have done, with a fine decorative sense as well as recognizable pictures of the creatures of woods and fields preparing for winter, and watching the first signs.
