Review

A small boy awakes to a snowy day. He wants to be the first one out in the snow and to go to the park but must get Grandad to accompany him. Panic sets in as Granddad very slowly goes about his morning routines, so all of the boy's friends, dogs and cats, and even the animals from the zoo (his stuffed animals come alive??) are at the park by the time they arrive. They all have a wonderful time, especially playing with the zoo animals and decided when they got home that some things really are worth waiting for. The reader can feel the boys increasing angst as Granddad takes so much time getting ready. Illustrations are fun to look at. This will be a fun addition to snowy wintertime story times, though the binding is so poor, it will not hold up for long.

Overall Book Score: good
