by Marc Brown Arthur and the Big Snow finds Arthur in the midst of a kid's favorite event - a snow day. All he wants is to meet his buddies at the big hill for a day of sledding. Unfortunately, his dad tells him they have to wait for the snowplows to clear the roads since D.W. is too small to walk in the deep snow. Thus begins a fairly normal Arthur story of catering to D.W. - sometimes those two make a real case for sibling rivalry. The story is a comfortable read-aloud with only a few sentences per two-page spread. The illustrations are detailed and full of personality. This book is part of a series of "Read and Play" Arthur books that should help turn younger kids into long-time Arthur fans. Plus, the back cover of the book was a small game board full of funny snow-related activities (make a joke about winter, sing a song about snow, stand on one foot and twirl like a skater) and cute snowy illustrations (like the snow cow and Buster with his tongue stuck to the flagpole.) The little game isn't in danger of edging out Monopoly in popularity but it adds a nice bit of interactivity to the book. |
