Shulevitz, U. (2004). Snow. New York , NY
Shulevitz’ story is about a boy that notices one flake, two flakes, three flakes. As he points it out to people, they disregard it as not a big deal. They just don’t think very much of it. Despite even hearing it on the television, the boy continues to think that it will snow, and it does.
The story itself was very simple. The illustrations were very good in that they gave the feeling that everyone just went about their business, doubting that it would snow. Illustrations did not fill the pages. The color scheme was mostly based on white and grey because of the snow. The boy repeating phrases showed how confident he was that it would snow.
