From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-K–One cold winter, snow drifts down for an entire month, covering the land, trees, and buildings in piles of the white stuff. Sammy climbs to the roof of his house and imagines what might be happening under the frigid mounds, conjuring up fanciful scenarios. Beginning with more realistic daydreams, including bears hibernating and seals swimming, his imagination expands to more far-fetched scenes that include moles drinking soda and tea, Santa creating in his workshop, and elves mining rubies and emeralds. As the season warms and the snow melts, the boys thoughts turn to spring. The artwork outshines the quiet story. Pleasant watercolor-and-ink illustrations, with charcoal and some oil-stick accents, deftly reveal the various possibilities that Sammy ponders. The variety of techniques used, including a style that resembles scratchboard, creates texture and interest. An additional purchase.–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
