Review of The Snowy Day
by Caleb Powell (with a little help from Mommy and Daddy)


In The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, a little boy wakes up, looks out of his bedroom window and sees snow everywhere.

After breakfast, he goes out to play in it. He makes tracks in the snow by dragging his feet. He makes other types of footprints, too. He also builds a smiling snowman and makes snow angels. He thinks about playing with the big boys who are having a snowball fight, but he knows he is too small for that.

Before he goes back inside to tell his mother about all the fun he had, he makes a round, round snowball and puts it in his coat pocket. When you read the book you'll find out just what happened to his snowball.

I really like The Snowy Day because it reminds me of all the fun I have when I play in the snow.



Caleb is a 6-year-old kindergartner who loves to collect and build Bionicles, count money, and play "Monopoly Junior". He enjoys the outdoors and welcomes every opportunity to play outside with his friends. His mom, who is his number-one soccer fan, says that he is doing great in sports and school!
