Book Review: The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats

Another book that we have read during the summer. I think we were hoping for cooler weather to keep us cool in the hot humid air.

"The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats was published in 1976. It even won a Caldecott Medal in 1963. This book captures the magic and sense of possibility of the first snowfall. It has a universal appeal and that has been retold for so many families.

When I first read this story, I was in first grade class with Ms. Steele. Now here I am sharing this book with my own children. I think most families want to find a perfect book that is passed down from generation to generation. My kids really loved the simple illustrations throughout this book and loved the story of the child trying to save a snow ball. We also made lots of guesses of what they think will happen to the snowball. My kids really loved it and I can't wait to see if this is a book that they will read to their own future children. This book will stay in our library.
