The Big Snow and Other Stories: A Treasury of Caldecott Award-Winning Tales (Dover Children's Classics)
by
by
This is a wonderful collection of Caldecott winning stories, all with gentle illustrations which will appeal to children and parents today. They all feature the world of nature. The title story in particular is a loving portrait of the coming of winter, the interplay of the many animals in the forest and the place of humans in the scheme. Only the last story of the three, The Might Hunter, feels somewhat dated in it's portrayal of the young Indian boy off to spend a day hunting instead of going to school. But it too is so well illustrated and also has a gentle story.
This is a nice book to add to a child's library.

I think you and she will enjoy it. The illustrations are really nice and I liked the quiet message.
