Enter the snowy world of winter—a world of snowball fights, and snow-fakes landing on your nose, freezing toes, warm mittens, and snow, snow, snow.

Here are poems and stories to match every mood. Included are poems by Aileen Fisher, Eve Merriam, Ogden Nash, X. J. Kennedy, Karla Kuskin, and many more. There's a Russian folktale about the beautiful snow maiden who comes to life, Isaac Bashevis Singer's story about a snowy evening in the village of Chelm when the village elders decide a valuable treasure has fallen from the sky, and a story from Japan about a man who is rewarded for his kindness to six statues.

This diverse collection of stories and poems is sure to captivate readers for hours. So, put on your parka, pull on your boots, and read about snow!
