Chipmunk and Bear share a snowy adventure in this easy-to-read Level C book. "I love snow!" says Bear. "Me too!" says Chipmunk. Despite their differences in size, Chipmunk and Bear have a lot in common. When Bear decides to go play in the snow, Chipmunk is eager to tag along. The two friends have fun skiing, skating, and building a snowman--although Chipmunk needs a hand now and then in the deep snow! This simple tale of friendship is perfect for early readers, with simple, highly repetitive text and four or less sentences per spread. Valeri Gorbachev's charming art adds detail and helps support understanding of the story--and readers are sure to smile at the furry friends' wintery adventures.

PreS-Gr 1--This simple, sweet story of Bear and his affable little friend, Chipmunk, follows the pair through a day of wintertime activities. "I love snow!" Bear says as they gaze out the window at the falling flakes. "Me, too!" Chipmunk replies, cap and sweater in hand. Outdoors, Bear has lots of ideas: he will dig a path in the snow, make a snowman, ice skate, and ski. And so will Chipmunk. At home, over cocoa and cookies in front of the fireplace, outerwear hanging on a clothesline, they reflect on the fun they had. Short declarative sentences and a great deal of repetition make this picture book perfect for developing readers. The large, joyful watercolor and ink illustrations are enchanting and will help children make predictions regarding unfamiliar words. Well done.--Erica Thorsen Payne, Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA
