Super cute illustrations, but it would have been nice to have the situation (cousin named Pedro has never seen snow) be more explicit about it-- the animals sort of softball the subject.

What would it be like to experience snow for the first time? Pedro finds out and learns all sorts of fun things you do in the snow!

Loved the art and the nontraditional names; a more diverse anthropomorphic tale than you usually get.

A slight story (Pedro has never seen snow before, but comes to love it after about two seconds outside), but anything Peter McCarty illustrates will give you the warm fuzzies inside.

I liked this one okay. The plot was nice but the text felt choppy.

I think come children will like it, but I found it a bit bland and predictable.

What an incredibly bland and boring book, plus that kid was a real whiny pain in the ass.

Love the depth and contrast between the tight dark faces of the animals and their colorful clothing, a simple and direct story.
