This is a classic children's book by Ezra Jack Keats. It won the Caldecott Medal and is Keats first book, written in 1962. It is a perfect story for young beginning readers, kindergarten through second grade. The story in the book is very simple, a boy named Peter's day playing outside in the snow is chronicled. The simplicity and openness of the storytelling and illustrations reflect the way a young child experiences the discoveries made on a snowy day. The beautiful collage illustrations capture the various textures snow can take on and greatly enhance the gentle feel of the story.
