Children's Literature
After figuring out to how move about in deep snow, a puppy experiences all kinds of fun things to do. He chases squirrels and birds, makes snow angels, slides down a hill, and helps a raccoon reach the carrot on the snowman. Short sentences with a lot of repetition make this level 1 "Scholastic Reader" a good choice for children just learning to read. The illustrations show an exuberant little puppy going through all the activities, thus giving the beginning reader good visual clues. A beginning reader can develop fluency by practicing the three short word lists on the inside back cover. It also lists a few words for the reader to go back and find in the story. This is an upbeat and fun winter story. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
