About this title: On a winter's day the people and animals of a small town anticipate a snowfall and make their preparations for dealing with the storm. During the night, the snow falls and the next day the people shovel the snow off their cars, the children build a snowfort, and the rabbits sleep in their cozy and warm underground burrows. Soon the snow melts and as time passes the townspeople begin to notice signs of spring's arrival. Soft blue halftone illustrations with splashes of red and yellow accompany the text. Winner of the 1948 Caldecott Medal.

"This book begins with a poem about snow, and then the story is told, as the characters anticipate the snow's arrival. In my opinion the descriptions are more beautiful than the pictures. The illustrations are made with India ink, and this doesn't give the characters realistic coloring. Maybe the choice of media was to enhance the whiteness and brightness of the snow. Once the snow has covered the town, in its magical white blanket, the children come out to enjoy the day. The policeman's wife is stereotypically the homemaker, tending to her husband's cold while knitting him new a scarf."
