Dream Snow (edition 2000)

A farmer dreams that he and his farm animals (named One, Two, Three, Four, and Five) are covered with a white blanket of snow. The snow is shown as a clear paged overlay. When he wakes up, he realizes it's been a dream. The magical mood of the rhythmic language is accentuated by silvery tones that come from a button we press at the end.

A farmer who appears to be santa clause has five animals. He named his animals one, two, three, four, and five. One day the farmer takes a nap and dream about blankets of snow. When he wakes up he realizes that it is Christmas. This book was very cute, it appeared to have 3D images. At the end of the story there was a page that showed his Christmas tree and it lite up. I think that a child can relate snow to Christmas or like children in Louisiana, we relate cold weather to Christmas. ( )

A farmer dreams of snow. His snowy dream covers him and his 5 farm animals with a white blanket of snowflakes. When the farmer wakes up from his nap he realizes his dream was not a dream. It really did snow a white blanket. He realizes that he had almost forgotten to decorate his tree for Christmas.

This story was very colorful. The clear paper with white snow was interesting to see.

Students could create their own Christmas tree and hang them on the classroom wall. Each student could describe to the class what their family does on the Christmas holiday.

This book is lovely to look at, but there's not much of a story here. It's about a farmer who has farm animals he calls "one," "two," "three," etc. It's near Christmas but it hasn't snowed on the farm yet. The farmer falls asleep and dreams of snow covering him and his farm animals. When he wakes up, he realizes that it has really snowed. He goes out to his barn and decorates a tree near his barn with Christmas ornaments and lights.

It's almost like Eric Carle had the artwork and then came up with some sort of lame narrative as an after thought. But the artwork is so lovely. When the farmer dreams of snow, there's an overlay that covers the animals with blankets of snow. At the end, when he decorates his tree there's a button to push in the back of the book that sets off a pleasing (non Christmasy) tinkly bit of music. When the farmer goes out after it's snowed he looks remarkably like Santa. ( )

This book is about a farmer who lives on a farm with 5 animals. He realizes that winter is coming and the snow begins to fall. He guesses which animals are covered in snow and then decides to decorate a little tree for Christmas and places under it presents for his animals.
