It’s finally snowing! A little boy goes out to play and measure the depth by where the snow hits his boots. At first it’s only as deep as his ankles, but as it continues to snow, soon it’s as high as his shins, then his boots, then he gets a rescue from his mama and papa who are tall enough to easily walk in the deep snow. 

Darling illustrations highlight this sweet story about playing in the snow. The text is poetry, and, while not always rhythmically consistent, fun for a great read aloud. I loved the messages of fun and family, outside play and comfort inside. Also, don’t miss the dog and cat, as they enjoy the text, too.
