This simple poem shows small children enjoying little moments in snow as it builds in the woods, on hills, through the town, and on the local pond. This poem uses interesting descriptive words to describe the accumulating snow such as “lathering” and “creamy.” These words are not normally used in conjunction with the image of snow and it leaves the reader struggling to picture the type of snow covering the ground.

This is a good preschool through first grade poem, but because of the odd descriptors, it is an easy one to skip.
