![]() ![]() ![]() The book is on my all time favorites list for a number of reasons.įirst and foremost, it offers the incredible pleasure of engaging with Meschenmoser's illustrations. The deer tells the squirrel who tells the hedgehog who tells the bear that snow is wet and cold and soft and the three of them make a considerable effort not to fall asleep for the winter but to figure out which of the cold and soft and wet objects the forest might be snowflakes. In Waiting For Winter the story unfolds as a bunch of forest animals anticipate the start of winter. So I've been holding off on writing about this book until I needed to do something that made very happy and re-visiting each page of this story inevitably does. ![]() More than we ever had before! I've been meaning to write about this book before the first snow came, but now I am writing about it from under about six feet of snow, which, is actually, making the experience even better.Īs some of my wonderful readers might have ascertained from the loving descriptions of this book about Pugman and this book about Learning to Fly I have an extremely high opinion about all of Sebastian Meschenmoser's work and consider him to be arguably one of the very best children's book illustrators alive. This winter, in Boston, where I live, we are getting a lot of snow. ![]()
