Annotation:	Poppa shows Mouse how to sled down the hill, skate on the pond, make snow angels, build a snow house, roll a round snowball, and build a snow mouse.
Personal Reaction:	The colorful pastel art on canvas depicts the story of Mouse and his father having fun in the snow admirably. The lover between the two is evident by the way Mouse attempts each challenge and Poppa provides positive praise on Mouse’s first attempts. This hardbound book is a wonderful example of a picture book to read to preschoolers as the first flakes of snow start to fall.
