Waiting for Winter

Squirrel has never seen snow - white and wet and cold and soft. This will be the year, decides Squirrel. In his attempts to stay awake for the snow, he wakes Hedgehog and Bear. They begin searching for winter in the woods - white and wet and cold and soft - with hilarious results. Sebastian Meschenmoser tells this story with broad pencil sketches, accented with color at just the right moments for impact, and minimal words. While we might be tired of the white and wet and cold and soft stuff, adults and kids alike will revel in the miracle of the first snow. Come to Toddler Time tomorrow at 10:30 to enjoy, or check-out a copy for home. -- Elaine B.
