Few things can be quite as delightful to children as the first snow of the season. However, curious kids might wonder why snow happens. This title featuring the lively illustrated character Snowy the snowball is here to help! Snowy and vivid photographs on every page will captivate young readers as they learn about conditions for forming snow, the season in which it forms, what to wear when playing in the snow, and animals adapted to survive snow's frigid temperatures. A brief overview of snow's role in the water cycle and a glossary of weather-related terms are just a few of the additional features this title offers to stimulate young reader interest in concepts related to Earth Science curricula.
