Synopsis:
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! A little rabbit's wish comes true when the world becomes a winter wonderland in this witty wistful picture book from the author of Extraordinary Warren

Winter has just begun, and one little bunny wants it to snow, hopes it will snow, and wishes it would snow. And, finally, the fluffy flakes begin to fall from the sky. First one flake at a time, then more and more until little bunny finds himself up to his ears in a blizzard and then--whoops!--he rolls downhill in a gigantic snowball, right through the front door of his treehouse. Home and cozy at last, he wakes up next morning read to play outside with his forest friends. Sledding down a snowy hill, his frolicking comes to an abrupt halt when he hits the grass! Oh, no! Now there's not enough snow!

Our Thoughts:
This cute story about a little bunny who wants it to snow has few words but is a fun read and perfectly captures winter and the seasons that lead up to it and come after it.

The text is short and simple but a lot of fun to read out loud with little ones and perfect for those beginner readers to read on their own!

We especially loved the focus on the seasons. Little Bunny starts out in summer and then the trees start to change colors and fall and by then he just wants it to snow. When it finally does, it's way too much and he can't wait for it to stop, but then winter is over, spring (and pollen) is in the air, and he just wants it to snow again!
