White Snow, Bright Snow - Alvin Tresselt

First published in 1947, White Snow, Bright Snow captures all the fun, magic, and mystery of a snowfall. The enchanting illustrations are a perfect enhancement to the lovely story. Full color. \n \n* Caldecott Medal Winner * ALA Notable Book *\n \nThe classic Caldecott Medal-winning picture book about a neighborhood transformed by a delightful snowfall, from the legendary picture book duo Alvin Tresselt and Roger Duvoisin.\n \nWhen the first flakes fell from the grey sky, the postman and the farmer and the policeman and his wife scurried about doing all the practical things grown-ups do when a snowstorm comes. But the children laughed and danced, and caught the lacy snowflakes on their tongues.\n \nAll the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book--the frost ferns on the windowsill, the snowman in the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world.\n \nRoger Duvoisin's pictures in soft blue half-tones with brilliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the happiness and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text.\n \nFirst published in 1947, this classic picture book won the 1948 Caldecott Medal and was the first of eighteen picture book collaborations by Alvin Tresselt and Roger Duvoisin.\n
