"Sloat’s pithy text, just the right length and cadence for young listeners, gives this playful adventure extra zest. The words pair perfectly with Bonnet’s dynamic—and adorable--watercolors. Simply drawn characters, outlined in India ink, are set against a flake-dappled background that goes darker as night falls."-Booklist, starred review

"A simple and heartwarming offering for any library, especially those seeking some new and refreshing seasonal stories."-School Library Journal

"Charming watercolor illustrations make excellent use of white space as the snowy backgrounds, capturing the light-filled brilliance of a snowy afternoon and contrasting effectively with the slightly spooky setting of the nighttime scene with dark trees and swirling snow. . .. A delightful and satisfying snowy-day story"-Kirkus Reviews

"Sloat creates several lovely moments as she describes the world through the eyes of a snow newbie . . . Bonnet’s naïve drawings, rendered in simple ovoid shapes and clean ink lines, propel the story forward, and her animal cast is cute as a collective button."-Publishers Weekly
