1.雪が降り始めてから解けて春になるまでの、郵便配達員、農夫、警察官とその奥さん、そしてウサギの様子が淡々と書かれています。
１ページ目の雪が深々と降る様子を描写した詩がステキです。

2.Million of snowflakes, tiny and light,
Softly, gently, in the secret night.

This book begins with a poem about snow, and then the story is told, as the characters anticipate the snow’s arrival. In my opinion the descriptions are more beautiful than the pictures. The illustrations are made with India ink, and this doesn’t give the characters realistic coloring. Maybe the choice of media was to enhance the whiteness and brightness of the snow. Once the snow has covered the town, in its magical white blanket, the children come out to enjoy the day. The policeman’s wife is stereotypically the homemaker, tending to her husband’s cold while knitting him new a scarf. ( )

All about what kids and grownups do when it snows, then turns to spring. The illustrations are soothing and interesting. I love this book! ( )

White Snow, Bright Snow by Alvin Tresselt, illustrated by Roger Duvoisin, tells the story of the postman, a farmer, a policeman, and the children over the course of a winter using paintings and select colors. I liked the story and I enjoyed the painted illustrations, but I was disappointed in some respects. First, the title comes from a nice poem on a page that isn’t illustrated. I also found White Snow, Bright Snow to be ugly in layout, with bold, blocky letters that really detracted from the illustrations and the story. Finally, White Snow, Bright Snow didn’t have enough illustrations; there was too much heavy text for each illustration. Simply changing the font face could have improved it and made it feel less text heavy. Maybe it’s been reissued with a different font face (the copy I read was the original 1947 publication). It’s quite sad that the format makes this otherwise interesting, lovely illustrated book so unattractive!
