The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple taleof a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during thenight. Keats's illustrations, using cut-outs, watercolors, andcollage, are strikingly beautiful in their understated color andcomposition. The tranquil story mirrors the calm presence of thepaintings, and both exude the silence of a freshly snow-coveredlandscape. The little boy celebrates the snow-draped city with aday of humble adventures--experimenting with footprints, knockingsnow from a tree, creating snow angels, and trying to save asnowball for the next day. Awakening to a winter wonderland is anageless, ever-magical experience, and one made nearly visceral byKeats's gentle tribute.

The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, butalso for its importance as a trailblazer. According to Horn Bookmagazine, The Snowy Day was "the very first full-color picture bookto feature a small black hero"--yet another reason to add thisclassic to your shelves. It's as unique and special as asnowflake.

小男孩彼得，一早醒来发现昨夜下了雪，兴奋地跑到雪地里玩各种游戏，他堆了一个雪人和一个天使。回家前，还把在院子里捏的雪球放进口袋里，想留到明天再玩。回家后彼得泡在浴缸里，还忍不住一再回味，于是睡前去翻口袋，找寻带回来的雪，口袋却是空的，小雪球不见了，让他很失望。上床后又梦到太阳溶融了所有的雪。但他一觉醒来，窗外却正在下着雪……
简单的故事却传神地展现出儿童的天真、好奇、幽默和创意。
