School Library Journal: –A sweet little tale about discovery and finding joy in nature, friends, and family. Pablo, a small sheep, wakes up to the delightful surprise of snow falling. Eager to explore, he heads out into the wintry land, meeting friends and learning about all of the different things snow can be used for. After Pablo sleds with Rabbit, has a snowball fight with Squirrel and Shrew, and makes a snowman with Fox, his friends head home, but Pablo stubbornly decides to stay out. As time passes, he realizes that his tracks have disappeared and he doesn’t know the way home. Just as he starts to despair, he spots two snow mounds that are actually his mama and papa, who have been searching for their baby. They bring him back to the cozy barn, where Pablo decides that snow is fun but family is the best. Charming cartoon illustrations help set the mood. VERDICT A simple and heartwarming offering for any library, especially those seeking some new and refreshing seasonal stories.–Jasmine L. Precopio, |
