Overview / 简介: |
A sweet celebration of the wonders of winter — and the warmth of good friends — is enhanced with a sparkly snowy cover.

As Mole rushes to show his new treasure to his friends, it keeps changing shape in his hands. Could the diamond be magic? In a snowy, shimmering sequel to BRINGING DOWN THE MOON and NO PLACE LIKE HOME, the lovable Mole and his loyal friends Hedgehog, Squirrel, and Rabbit are back, finding magic in the most unexpected places. |

| PreSchool-Grade 2—Waking up and seeing his first snow, Mole goes off to explore and slips and slides down a hill, crashing into a tree. He mistakes an icicle for a diamond but as he carries it home, it melts. His sadness disappears when his friends explain what it was and he gazes at the awe-inspiring beauty of the icicles on a tree at sunset. The story's action surrounds the text like a part of the landscape, while the cartoonlike animals portray the playfulness and rambunctiousness of children. Comic-book panels show the comical movement of Mole's adventure up and down the hill. However, although the watercolors of the woodland change for the upcoming sunset, the icicle-covered tree is fairly drab and unlikely to attract children's attention. Regardless, this is a creative addition to the winter-themed books because it does capture the magic and curiosity of children experiencing their first snowfall.—Jessica Lamarre, Medford Public Library, MA |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| When Mole emerges from his hole one day, the woodland is covered in snow. Even more marvelous is the magical "diamond" that appears at the base of a tree. It is beautiful and shiny, and it changes shape in his paws. He can't wait to show it to his friends!
Jonathon Emmett's gentle story is sure to delight young children, especially during the winter months when (if!) there is snow on the ground. Adults will be charmed by the simple fascination with one of nature's special gifts. Sweet woodland illustrations by Vanessa Cabban will further endear this book to children and "designated readers."
DIAMOND IN THE SNOW is a darling picture book that should find a cherished spot on family bookshelves everywhere.
