If you're snowed in and can't do what you planned, enjoy the chance to write bad poems and read them to each other, and make snow animals, and share ginger tea.... I don't know what kinds of kids like this series, but this adult loves it. ( ) This 3 chapter, easy reader story tells about the friendship and acceptance of the main characters the book is titled after. The words are explicit and intentional and dance delicately with the pictures. The story glides effortlessly through their snow day and how they spend it. It tells about how what started as a disappointment ended up being a treasure with the two friends spending "quiet time" together. Beautifully told story to cuddle up with a loved one and share on a cold winters day... Summary: Sweet story about friends Houndsley and Catina finding the joy in a quiet snow day. Reflection: Lots of figurative language in this book would be great to use in a Language Arts classroom. Nice length and readability for the emerging reader wanting to read a chapter book. Pictures are pretty. As the first snowfall of winter dances around them, Houndsley and Catina seek imaginative ways to make the most of the day before them. At first anxious and uneasy of how the storm will disrupt their plans, Catina is soon pacified by the calm, introspective, and reflective Houndsley who helps his dear friend to see the serenity and beauty of the quiet time. Consisting of forty-two pages divided among three moderate chapters (titled in the table of contents), this easy reader book is chocked full of sight words along with more complex vocabulary, intricate dialog, and colorful metaphors. Descriptive language conveys the atmosphere of each scene, which is further enhanced by an array of colorful, cool-toned illustrations. Whimsical, somewhat abstract images portrayed through painting and collage envelope the text—and the reader—in dream-like visual representations. With its emphasis on friendship, imagination, and a childlike appreciation for nature, this peaceful tale will appeal to a wide range of young readers as well as their adult counterparts. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
