What if it starts
to snow?
What do you do?
Where do you go?

What if it starts to snow. What do you do? Where do you go?" So begins this winter story, as each animal--from a mouse to a bear--tells us what it will do and where it will go when the snow starts to fall. Each takes cover in its own special home, except for one. Can you guess who?

Phillis Gershator's chant-along verse encourages listener participation, and is best enjoyed when read aloud. The inquisitive text and dashing illustrations by Martin Matje make this a delightful picture book for reading under the covers when the weather gets chilly. Poetic and imaginative, When It Starts to Snow celebrates winter in all its cozy glory.

Review

“With words that roll off the tongue, pictures of charming woodland inhabitants and a dash of science, this one will have readers raring to go on a snow quest of their own.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The mood and simplicity of expression recall Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day and Ruth Krauss' The Happy Day.” ―Booklist

“[A] cozily satisfying lapsit for that toddler fascinated by both snowflakes and animal noises.” ―The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a winter themed writing prompt

This book fit in perfectly with my “Animals in Winter” theme. In addition to a discussion of migration, adaptation, and hibernation, I extended this book after a read aloud with a writing prompt about themselves and what they do when it starts to snow. Very cute illustrations and engaging to my kinder students.
