New York Public
Library's #1 book on the list of "Top Check Outs of All Time"
In 1962, a little
boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and
into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this
story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the
hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The quiet fun and
sweetness of Peter's small adventures in the deep, deep snow is
perfect for reading together on a cozy winter day.
Ezra Jack Keats was
also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet
Show!, Peter's Chair, and A Whistle for Willie.
(This book is also
available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.)
