Snow is a 1998 New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year and a 1999 Caldecott Honor Book."It's snowing, said boy with dog."It's only a snowflake," said grandfather with beard. No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it. Uri Shulevitz' playful depiction of a snowy day and the transformation of a city is perfectly captured in simple, poetic text and lively watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations.Author: Uri ShulevitzPublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)Published: 07/15/1998Pages: 32Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.77lbsSize: 10.10h x 9.16w x 0.34dISBN: 9780374370923Audience: Ages 4-8Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 1.6Point Value: 0.5Interest Level: Lower GradeQuiz #/Name: 28079 / SnowAward: Caldecott Medal - Honor BookAward: Young Hoosier Book Award - NomineeAward: Red Clover Award - NomineeReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 08/31/1998 pg. 75Booklist 10/15/1998 pg. 418Booklist Ed Choice Youth 01/01/1999 pg. 785New York Times 01/17/1999 pg. 26Kirkus Review - Children 10/15/1998 pg. 1537Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/1998 pg. 17 - Superior,Well Above AverageALA Notable Children's Books 01/01/1999 pg. 1302SLJ's Best Books 12/01/1998 pg. 27Publishers Weekly Best Books 01/01/1998 pg. 50Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/1999 pg. 17 - Superior,Well Above AverageSchool Library Journal 12/01/1998About the AuthorUri Shulevitz is a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator and author.
