Perfect for reading on winter days, the book features photos of real snow crystals in all their beautiful diversity. Snowflake-catching instructions are also included!
"Settle down in a comfy chair. . . . By the end, you'll be hoping there's a day when you can follow the careful directions for catching and viewing snow crystals." —Chicago Tribune
"The clear and direct narrative takes readers into the clouds to explain snow-crystal formation...and then zooms in on the actual crystals. Sure to get young scientists outside in the cold." —Kirkus Reviews
