When the Snow Is Deeper Than My Boots Are Tall
Find a frosty window. Watch the flakes fall. Look! The snow is deeper than my toes are tall.
With young, rhyming verse and bright illustrations, Jean Reidy and Joey Chou capture the joy and excitement of a big snowfall. As the snow climbs over a boy’s toes, ankles, shins, and boots, there’s more and more fun to be had—snowmen, sledding, snow angels, and, finally, a cup of hot cocoa by a warm fire.
