My Review

The illustrations in this picturebook version of De La Mare's poem tell a Christmas story not detailed in the poem - but I love this twist! A perfect, atmospheric wintry book for snowy day.

Heads Up!

There are four books in this quartet - available as board books and paperbacks. One of them is 'Silver', bringing De La Mare's more well known 'Slowly, Silently now the moon/Walks the night in her silver shoon...' to children in picture book form.

Publisher Review

'No breath of wind, No gleam of sun Still the white snow Whirls softly down' Outside, the world turns to white and three children and a dog build a snowman, throw snowballs and explore the frozen expanses
