Snow Doves by Nancy Hartry
4.0
Snow Doves by Nancy Hartry is a gorgeous, little picture book set in the winter time.
This book has no words in it, which was quite unique! The story is told through pictures, which could easily be a great way to have the reader make up the story as they go. The characters are very expressive, which makes the story fun without the words. This unique premise impressed me, since I haven't seen many books without words. Then, you get to the end of the book and figure out why there is no words... the two lead characters don't speak the same language. But remember, fun is fluent in all languages! language boundaries doesn't limit the fun.
Overall, this book is super cute and a great little read! I think younger readers won't understand the premise and it will go over their heads, but older (six and up) will be able to appreciate it.
Four out of five stars.
