The Snowbear

by Sean Taylor

Claire Alexander (Illustrator)

Snow comes in the night, and Iggy and Martina make a snowbear. But then a sledge ridge takes them deep into the woods. How will they get back home again?

The Snowbear is a spellbinding story about the magic of snow and the power of a child's imagination. With a simple text and beautiful illlustrations, it will be read again and again. Themes of friendship, loyalty, and bravery make it a great choice for story time, as a bedtime read or on car trips. Children will love the crisp, wintry setting brought to life by Claire Alexander's art.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

The Snowbear is a beautifully illustrated short book aimed at younger children (4+ years). Sean Taylor's sweet story about how magical snow days can be is gorgeously illustrated and supported by Claire Alexander's charcoal pencil and watercolour illustrations. This is definitely a cuddle-up and read along story which will become a fast favourite. It's very short, 32 pages, and is published in hardcover format by Quarto Publishing - words & pictures.

Books for children should be of the highest quality, engaging and well written. This book absolutely fulfills those requirements. Children are our future readers and developing a lifelong reading habit starts most often at a young age. Lot of bonus points for using lolloping in the book. Wonderful!

I enjoyed it very much.

Five stars.
