When Will It Snow?

Author: Kathryn WhiteIllustrator: Alison Edgson

Like many little ones, this bear cub doesn’t want to go to bed, especially when Mother explains bed means sleeping the whole winter! Full of mischief, he escapes to play in the autumn winds with friends, mole and squirrel. These two try to explain snow, to describe what fun it is, throwing snowballs, making angel wings. But little bear knows he must heed his Mothers’ call, and reluctantly returns to their cave. He needs reassurance that his friends won’t forget him over the winter, and this comes clearly from Mother. ‘True friends are always there for you when you wake…’ And come Spring, they are! A gentle, comforting book depicting well the loving relationship between mother and cub, with the colour palette expressing a glowing, autumnal warmth throughout.
