Even though the weather report predicts snow, impatient young children must wait all week for the snow to fall. Finally, lovely snow everywhere inspires lots of ways to play imaginatively in the city. Lively collage assemblages created from color photographs move a little girl's brief story along with the aid of only a few words printed in a large typeface on every page spread. (Ages 2-5)

The weather report says "Snow." Yet there is no sign of it on Monday, or on Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. But oh, when it comes, it is as thick and white and wonderful (and perfect for snowballs) as the exuberant young narrator dreamed. Young fans who already love Nina Crews's striking photo-collage picture books will revel in this winter wonderland. Zip up your jacket and come outside. It's snowing!
