An informative book about the process of snow and what it is. (

This book was informational, but I am worried it would not hold the attention of all students since it is so informational (I could totally be wrong). The book was not a narrative, but the information given is easy to follow and there are images to support the text. Something that I liked about the book was that it actually has photos of enlarged snowflakes which is really cool (not literally) to see. Snowflakes are very pleasing to look at. I would use this with students as a read aloud, if we were learning about snow or maybe even if we were learning about water. One other cool thing about this book is at the back of it there is a page that explains how to catch a snowflake. (

A lot of information and pictures of snowflakes. Good book if you're really interested.

How do snow crystals form? What shapes can they take? Are no two snow crystals alike? These questions and more are answered in this visually stunning exploration of the science of snow.
