Description
There are millions of things for Jillian to do in the snow with her sister and her friends. So what if her hat doesn't want to stay on her head? It's a wonderful winter morning and Jillian can't wait to get outside and play! Soon she and her friends are busy making a snowy masterpiece. But then Jillian loses her scarf...and her mittens...and her hat. Oh no! What will her mother say? Sledding, snowmen and wild flights of imagination abound in this book featuring rhythmic text, a simple plot, and wonderfully humorous illustrations.Young readers will also enjoy locating where Jillian's missing articles disappear to in the pictures.
