I still remember going to the book fair with my mother when I was in kindergarten. She said I could pick any book I wanted, and I picked this one. It was the first book I ever owned and read, I still have the same copy, and I laugh every time I read it!

This book is written in the same type of rhyming style that made Dr. Suess' books so famous. However, unlike the good Doctor there aren't any made up words in this book. The rhyming story tells of two siblings adventures in the snow: from sledding to snowball fights to building an igloo. The vocubulary is simple enough that doesn't make reading difficult for younger readers, yet it is challenging enough so that young readers improve their skills without realizing it. The illustrations that accompany the test are delightful. Children love listening to this book and often squeal with laughter at several scenes.

It's very rare for a beginning reader book to become a favorite, but this one definately is! I have owned a copy of this book for over thirty years, since before I could read it myself, and have since read it to my children. Whenever it snows here, we always ask, " Do you like it in your face?", to which one of us will answer, "Yes! I like it anyplace!" A true classic.

This book showcases how people can work to come to collaborative agreements over natural resource issues - if they get tired enough of fighting. Set in the West over the battle for water, stakeholders ended lawsuits and tried to reach win-win situations on their own. They succeeded in several instances, no small miracle. A great book of interest for those interested in collaborative decision making and natural resource conflict.
