It's out of print now, but I just happened to find a copy at a thrift store. It's about a little old lady who feels lonely way out on the farm on a snowy night with just her old man husband and some chickens for company and she says she wants to throw a party. Her husband scoffs at her. But it snows and snows and people get stuck in the snow and she invites them in and before you know it, it's a BIG old party! Darling pen and ink drawings to boot.Jill O.

mos...you make me wish i had little kids again. :-)<br /><br />most of those books i have never heard of. sad for me, and for my kids who missed out when they were younger. :-( but here is my favorite snow-themed book: the good old classic, the snowy day, by ezra jack keats. i probably love it because i love cut/torn paper illustrations. the book was always a launching point for us to do our own cut/torn paper pictures. (i think i was usually much more into that than the kids and would still be at the table working on mine after the kids had lost interest and run off to play...)<br /><br />oh, and if you want to cut out snowflakes with the kids, my favorite way to do it is with coffee filters. i am a stickler for making SIX-sided flakes, and imo the coffee filters are much easier to fold into 6ths (half, then 3rds) than regular 4-sided paper.40winkzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707345570759229347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3642363333106969832.post-67976955798863126222010-03-04T23:07:21.102-05:002010-03-04T23:07:21.102-05:00I can't believe I just realized that you have ...I can't believe I just realized that you have a blog.

But we had not. We were introduced to it by, oddly enough, a sountherner. Anyway, another fun thing to add to a unit study about snow.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635871060627018492noreply@blogger.com
