Snow Friends
by MARGERY CUYLER & WILL HILLENBRAND
Christy Ottaviano Books/Henry Holt Books for Young Readers (October 13, 2020) PRESCHOOL-GRADE 1
Snow! Snow! And more snow! Oscar was itching to go outside, but the house was as quiet as a sleeping puppy. No one was awake, not even his boy, Matt. When Oscar finally gets out to play, he can’t resist the chance to run away and pursue his own wintry escapades. He builds an igloo, he makes a doggy angel, and he even goes ice skating- all with the help of his new friend, Daisy. But the best part of this snow day comes when Oscar’s boy and Daisy’s girl join them for a cozy igloo huddle.
This charming seasonal friendship story is by the team who created the bestselling The Biggest, Best Snowman.
Reviews
There is an infectious exuberance underlying the story, one communicated in the opening spread (“Snow! Snow! And more snow!”) with drifts of snow building around Oscar’s house as well as in the tireless, curious energy of the dogs. [This is] a joyous, wintry read.—Kirkus Reviews
Cuyler and Hillenbrand are back with another charming tale, this one about friendship forged on a winter day. Soft and bright illustrations by Hillenbrand accompany the sweet and simple text, working in tandem to bring this story to life.

A seasonal read for doggy devotees. —Publishers Weekly
