Welcome to Litsy!

White Snow Bright Snow by Alvin Tresselt is a great RF that could be used as a RA to introduce winter. This story gives great detail to the weather and how it affects the people in the town. The seasons and weather changes are introduced in kindergarten and a great standard to go by is https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/2894

“Even the church steeple wore a pointed cap on its top.”

I love the use of blue and frosty looking tones in this story. The visuals fully represent the feeling of snow fall.

This story does an incredible job of capturing the excitement of snowfall. The children laughed and danced as the ground slowly was covered in white. I believe this story would be a great read for any elementary school classroom to enjoy the little things in life.

“And the children watched for the first robin to tell them Spring had really come.”

The illustrations do a wonderful job of using color contrasts. The houses and people are bright, unusual colors while the backgrounds are darker.

This story is very detailed in words and pictures. It talks about the changing seasons through the perspective of a policeman, a wife, children, bunnies, and a postman. It is very simple yet creative.

Cute, but you can tell it‘s an aged story for children. You can see how this book won a Caldecott medal, though 👍🏻

One of my very favorite early Caldecott winners (1948)! I remember being introduced to this book in high school while teaching pre-schoolers as part of a child development class!
