It brings back memories of the snowy days where I spent hours outside playing in the snow as a child. How will they get back up the steep hill? Will they make it safely back home? The Snowbear is a wonderful, magical story about the power of a child’s imagination.
But when they decide to go sledding, they run into trouble. The snowman, becomes a snowbear with a happy smile. They are warned by mother about the steep hill and the slippery slope as they head outside to make a snowman. Iggy and Martina wake up to a snowy world and are excited about getting outside. With winter almost here and snow on the horizon, this is an amazing book to have ready to read to your children. I love this book and know that young readers will read it over and over again with their eyes wide and filled with the promise of magic being real. What would the hero be on a snow covered mountain? Why a Snowbear, of course! Step back, Frosty The Snowman, there’s a new kid on the block and it’s a bear made of snow! Take a very real situation and add danger. If children could have one reason to believe in magic, it would be from reading this book. It is written extremely well, each page is beautifully illustrated to accompany the story in a magical and realistic manner. If one of these necessary elements isn’t present, then the book fails. The title and cover must absolutely grab the attention of a child and the whole package must be approved of by the parent. The illustrations are viable to the success of a well-written, age appropriate story. Writing Children’s book is one of the hardest things for an author to do, I know, I write them too. Wow! Magic and snow! What more can you ask for, says the Canadian reviewer! Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review! Children will love the crisp, wintry setting brought to life by Claire Alexander’s art. Themes of friendship, loyalty, and bravery make it a great choice for story time, as a bedtime read or on car trips. With a simple text and beautiful illustrations, it will be read again and again. How will they get back home again? The Snowbear is a spellbinding story about the magic of snow and the power of a child’s imagination. But then a sledge ride takes them deep into the woods. Snow comes in the night, and Iggy and Martina make a snow bear.
