Two little owls named Hoot and Peep are waiting for snow to come. Peep has never experienced the joy of snow before and was anxiously awaiting its arrival. Hoot tried to explain the song of snow to Peep. It wasn't like the crunchy crackly sound of falling leaves, or the splitter splatter of rain, snow had a sound all its own. As the first flakes begin to drift down from the sky, Peep quietly discovers snows soft peaceful song of silence. 

I am always looking for new books that celebrate the seasons in a unique way. Judge has captured the essence of winter using two lovable owls. Hoot and Peep's songs about the different sounds we find throughout the seasons will engage readers and help to explore the concepts of weather, music and sound. This would be a great read-aloud.
