Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day is a book about discovery, wonder, and friendship. Young Peter wakes up one day to a wintery world outside his window. There is so much for Peter to discover about snow, but it’s best to have a friend to enjoy it with. Some of the activities in this unit are creating a winter scene collage, making shaving cream snow, and practicing snowflake scissor skills.
