This isn't a bad book. It's just not a good book (at all) for Babies and Toddlers, the usual targets of boardbooks.
For one thing, the illustrations are 'muddy'. There are brown bunnies in front of a brown wall which has a brown door with a brown decoration on it, and around it. Where's the brilliant colors babies and the very young adore? Missing.
Even the trees are a dull color, as is the sky. One bird on a tree is... you guessed it... light brown. The bunnies cloths are dark (muddy) purple and green... and brown.
The other problem I had with the book is the wordiness. Okay, not especially the wordiness --as I believe small children can enjoy the cadence of spoken speech -- but the 'high level concepts.
This isn't Lois Erhart's SNOW, with simple sentences about snowballs and cold. This is a book about looking back to simpler times. Where brothers lay motionless in the snow, listening to the poignant silence. These are things elementary aged children can relate to. Not topics for toddlers.
Nancy Wallace's story and language is wonderful. Her artwork was probably wonderful too, but this book production is awful. It should have been in a non-boardbook format for older children, and it should have been carefully reproduced so that the sky was the brilliant blue that see on older publications. ( )
