Description
Snow --- it crunches when we walk on it, floats down like feathers onto our faces and makes our sleds zoom. But what is snow? And how does it transform the world around us?
With a wonderful sense of movement and color, this unique book in the Exploring the Elements series invites children to explore their world with delight and curiosity. Young readers will open the flaps to find the science of snow and related topics clearly explained. Inside, they will discover why snow is white, what snowflakes look like up close, how snow makes the night brighter and much more.

Editorial Reviews
[A]n exciting lift-the-flap book ...
Books for Growing Minds
[S]imple, easily digested science ...
Globe & Mail
This slim book is packed with fascinating information about snow. Each spread is divided into three parts: a statement, a query, and, with the turn of a falp, a simply stated scientific explanation...The format works easily and allows the author to touch on many concepts ... [A]crylic paintings ... clearly depict the topics being discussed. The narrative rolls fluently from page to page and works well as a read-aloud. This book raises topics for discussion and exploration, stimulates children's curiosity, and piques interest in science topics.
