Sally and her faithful dog, Sam, awaken to find the
ground covered in gorgeous white snow. Together they bundle
up and discover how much fun can be had on a crisp winter
day. The attention to detail is not lost in It's Winter as Jimmy
Pickering illustrates the fascination of seeing your breath
coming forth in a curly white wisp. Sally and Sam make snow
angels and defy convention by shirking the traditional snowman for a snow dinosaur (and later dress it up lest it grow
chilly).
The illustrations and clever rhymes distil the finest
elements of winter for the reader to enjoy. Sally and Sam’s
only responsibility is to squeeze every wonder out of the
season and to go back for more the next day. The hot cocoa
is welcoming and the crackling fire is an excellent way to
end the day. I can almost feel the bottoms of my pantlegs
wet from snow.
