It was perfect for me to use and practice my language skills, I can definitely say with this book I've learnt new vocabulary and it's also really nice.

This easy reader was so fun to read! Ana and Andrew's joy permeated from the page, and their sibling love is so incredibly tangible. I love seeing families love each other, and this family seems to love each other more than anything. What I also appreciated was their acknowledgement of extended family who live in a different country. In recounting their experience visiting them, they allow the reader to have a glimpse into a different culture. This is great for the beginning of winter, for those who love playing in the outdoors. Great for grades 1-2.

This book is so cute and cozy. An easy reader that captures what it’s like to have the perfect snow day. My daughter loved it too. She especially liked that Ana’s doll was always dressed exactly the same as Ana. The main characters also briefly talk about their cousins who live in Trinidad. There was a map in the book that provided a little geography tie in and allowed her to connect the knowledge about the Caribbean that she already has from watching some nature shows. We’ll be checking out the rest of the series.
