Dream Snow | Eric Carle, Eric Carle

Eric Carle's classic Christmas book is now available as a board book! §§It's December 24th, and the old farmer settles down for a winter's nap, wondering how Christmas can come when there is no snow! In his dream he imagines a snowstorm covering him and his animals-named One, Two, Three, Four and Five-in a snowy blanket. But when the farmer awakens, he finds that it has really snowed outside, and now he remembers something! Putting on his red suit, he goes outside and places gifts under the tree for his animals, bringing holiday cheer to all. §§Clever lift-the-flaps reveal the animals hidden under the snow in the farmer's dream, making this board book edition a treat for all ages. §§Praise for Dream Snow :§§"Few in number are the parents who have made it through their toddler's years on just one copy of Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar .
