The Snow Show by Carolyn Fisher - ADVISABLE

The Snow Show by Carolyn Fisher. Harcourt, 2008. PICTURE BOOK

EL(K-3) - ADVISABLE

Snow White and Jack Frost are the hosts of a cooking show starring a snowman named Chef Kelvin.

Science facts are included as part of the recipe for how snow is formed. The text and digital art combine to teach the processes of evaporation, deposition, application of heat (or cold), and precipitation. The dynamic and inventive art will help children used to computer graphics learn these concepts. Includes an author’s note with additional information about snow, suggested reading, a recipe for “Polar Pops” and a link to the author’s website, which features an exciting animation of snow-crystal formation and a free activity kit.
