When the Snow Falls by Linda Sweeney - ADVISABLE

Sweeney, Linda Booth When the Snow Falls. PICTURE BOOK. Illustrated by Jana Christy. P. Putnam's Sons (Penguin), 2017. $16.99. 

Two children have a fun adventure with their grandparents on a snowy day--traveling through the snow, building snowmen and snow angels, and finally finishing the night with hot cocoa in front of a fire. This is a book written in sparse verse with beautiful and fun illustrations. The text focuses on descriptive words, allowing the reader to somewhat experience the snowy day with the illustrations. 

Overall this is a pretty book that adults will especially enjoy reading and its a nice one to add to a winter collection. I do not think it's destined to be a classic, but giving it a try is not a waste of time by any means.
