Review Detail

Cat Sees Snow is so well done I could stand up and applaud it for being a great book for beginning readers. The text is just the right length per page, it rhymes, it has high-frequency words, it tells a fun story (while still being readable for the intended age group), and the illustrations are engaging. I love the support page at the beginning introducing the characters and the words that would be used. I liked the follow-up questions at the end. I recommend this book for beginning readers, small group reading sessions for K-1, or reading intervention. I have read too many books that advertise themselves as being ready to read and then full of words that a child could not decode. This makes my heart so happy to find a book with words that are geared for early readers, engaging, and an aid to reading development. Young readers will enjoy the animals having fun in the snow and can connect to their own experiences with what they like to do in the Winter.
