"Keats's sparse collage illustrations capture the wonder and beauty a snowy day can bring to a small child."—Barnes & Noble
"Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly
"The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, but also for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Book magazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture book to feature a small black hero"—yet another reason to add this classic to your shelves.

Customer Reviews
It’s Endearing!
This book is beautiful! The original work of the author is just beautiful. The story itself is sweet and endearing. I think this is simply a timeless piece of art. I hope to read it to my children in the future. This version of the e-book has animations that make the pictures come alive. There is also an audio version. I am a person that prefers physical books, however, I think there is a time for a book such as this. I can see children loving the extra animations and the read-along recording. I think we need to expose children to physical books, however, we need to realize e-books are the future for children. Let’s embrace thsi fact and let thier first encounter with a quality book physical or not be in the presence of family.
cutest book ever
i love this book! it’s so sweet and has such incredible illustrations
please do not "enhance."
i would buy this book if it was not enhanced... this is where ebooks go wrong for picture books. the snowy day won a caldecott medal for the wonderful art... moving snowflakes are an ugly distraction.
