"Charming" according to Ami Hassler. Caldecott Medal Winner (My Friend Rabbit), Eric Rohmann, has created another charming picture book that shows respect for a child's fear of the unknown, while also illustrating the power of a positive attitude.There are four little kittens who have never seen snow. Three of them spend Spring, Summer and Fall worrying about how cold and wet snow will make everything. The fourth kitten just keeps saying, "I can't wait." The fourth kitten's attitude is so wonderfulRead the rest of thi. Another strong showing by Rohmann W. Sellers As with his previous books, the author/illustrator has put a strong visual signature on this work, which is simple without being simplistic.I had the pleasure of meeting him before this was published during a workshop, and he shared his sketches and the storylineHe was very gracious, and has a genuine appreciation for the worldview of children.My 3 year-old, by the way, loved reading this bookshe especially enjoyed finding all the kittens on each page.. DJ Joe Sixpack said Nice positive message. This is a great story about a little kitten who can't wait for it to snow, even though its siblings all worry about getting cold and wet Eric Rohmann celebrates the value of curiosity and adventuresome, positive thinking and plus, it has lots of pictures of cute little kittens. Graphically strong, with a nice, positive message. Recommended! (ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
