Dream Snow is about a farmer who has a small farm and has named his five animals; One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. One night after a long days work the farmer came in to have dinner and relax. After the farmer ate he sat down to rest and could not stop thinking about how it was almost Christmas and there had still not been any snow. The farmer then fell asleep and dreamed of a blanket of snow covering his farm, and soon awoke to find his dream had come true. He then rushed outside and decorated a tree, leaving gifts for One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. At the end of the book there is a button that will play a short Christmas tune. This would be a good book to use for kindergarten around Christmas time. ( )

Great for grades k-2. Helps students have good character. Illustrations drawn using water colors. It’s Christmas Eve, and an old farmer settles down for nap, wondering how Christmas can come when it hasn't snowed yet. The farmer falls asleep and in his dream, he imagines snowflakes covering him and his animals. He awakens to discover it really has snowed.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0399235795, Hardcover)

It's almost Christmas and it hasn't snowed yet. As the farmer naps on his small farm, he dreams of being covered in a gentle blanket of new snow. Then, one by one, he dreams of each of his five animals (aptly named One, Two, Three, Four, and Five) being covered as well. When he awakens, he discovers that real snow--not dream snow--has fallen. And "Oh my! Oh my! I almost forgot," the farmer shouts, and, bundling up, hurries out to his tree (named Tree) with a box and a sack, looking remarkably familiar in his white beard and red suit. After decorating Tree, the farmer shouts "Merry Christmas to all!" and pushes a button for a surprise Yuletide jingle.

Young fans of Eric Carle's The Very Quiet Cricket, The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, and other multisensory books, will delight in pushing the same microchip button the farmer pushes to hear the tinkling, oddly eerie holiday tune. In an even more unusual departure from standard picture books, Carle inserts a clear plastic sheet, covered with snowflakes and a white blanket, before each illustration of the dreaming farmer and his animals. Turn the plastic page to discover what kind of critter lies beneath the snow. Carle's magnificent collages, as always, are the heart and soul of his books. (Ages 3 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
