introducing the alphabet, discusses how an avalanche (a very silly one) runs over so many different things.

A new take on an alphabet book, this one tells the story of a boy innocently tossing a snowball that morphs into a full-fledged avalanche that ends up taking everything in the world with it, until it is sucked into a vacuum and then spat right back out into place. The surprising story is well matched by the wild, energetic and boldly colored collage illustrations. (

This is a great book for kids ages 4-7. I strongly suggest you read this book before you die!! This book is about a snowball that starts of small and turns into a huge snowball then turns small again. READ THIS BOOK!!!! (
