Loading... Stella, Queen of the Snowby Marie-Louise Gay
None. This book is fun and can has good description words. (  ) kaf015 | Apr 24, 2013 |  Stella, an adventurous red head with a wonderful sense of humour introduces her little brother Sam, to his first snow storm in Marie-Louise Gay’s “Stella Queen of the Snow.” Sam would prefer to look at it from inside the house, asked his sister if snow is cold, hard and icy. Sam has a lot of questions which enables Stella to give him her version of snow and winter. After the first reading (to a 28 year old child) I decided Sam was a wimp, and he is to a certain extent, but on my second reading I realized that Sam plays an important role in telling the story of snow. I was, and still am, dazzled by Stella’s red curls and long ago memories of another little girl with curly red hair girl. I selected this as a Secret Santa book (2012) for a woman in Greenland who told me she wanted to rush out and play in the snow.

This book uses a lot of metaphors as Stella gives her own personal take on Winter. It's a delightful story that children would enjoy. The illustrations are marvelous. ( ) KimberlyRagsdale | Dec 1, 2011 | Stella, Queen of the snow, is an older sister and knows everything there is know about snow. She knows about the concept of snowflakes and every activity you can play in the snow. She spends the day with her little brother and explains everything to him that he wants to know about snow. bananajames29 | Mar 13, 2011 | Stella and Sam (her brother?) play outside in the snow. I'm not sure why Sam, who seems old enough to construct intelligible questions, has never seen snow before. Stella answers all his questions about the snow and cold, and even tells him that dogs don't get cold. What the?! The snow angels singing at the end is a bit weird also. Not worthy of a public library collection. (  ) tashabear | Oct 26, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
