The genre of this book is informational. For students interested in the weather, this is a great book filled with easy-to-understand facts and details about all types of snow and snowflakes. The illustrations make it fun and help make it easier to understand and grasp the concepts. This book would be appropriate for early elementary students. ( )

I liked the book “It’s Snowing” by Gail Gibbons for two reasons. First, the illustrations are informational and easy to understand. For example, the diagram showing why snow falls very clearly shows the water cycle with definitions next to each picture. The illustrations clearly help students understand the text better. Second, while the book is informational it is also engaging for students. They show pictures and text with snow falling in different places such as South America, and Australia. The students are able to relate to the snow that falls around them, and also see places they may have traveled to before. The big idea of the story “It’s Snowing” is how and why snow falls in the wintertime. ( )
