A starlit snowfall

[a:Nancy Willard 13454 Nancy Willard http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg] seems to be quite the poet as is proven by her Newberry Medal for [b:A Visit to William Blake's Inn: Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers 530582 A Visit to William Blake's Inn Poems for Innocent and Experienced Travelers Nancy Willard http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175566563s/530582.jpg 1799679]. Within the pages of [b:A Starlit Snowfall 11051241 A Starlit Snowfall Nancy Willard http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327947561s/11051241.jpg 15972296] she provides such rhythm and rhyme to tease and entertain th senses which makes this book a delight to read aloud. With the pictures from one of my favorite artists [a:Jerry Pinkney 70868 Jerry Pinkney http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-M-50x66.jpg], minutes are sure to pass unwittingly as the imagination is captured and taken to a snowy wintery land unknown in nature. Where previously published in hardcover in 1993 as [b:A Starlit Somersault Downhill 1518283 A Starlit Somersault Downhill Nancy Willard http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1295290733s/1518283.jpg 2089327], parents like myself can take something from my elementary years to share with my children. Reading through this book with my daughter my imagination is tempted with the hussle of a restless rabbit as he goes forth to adventure and I can only assume AppleBlossom is intrigued as well considering she will not let the book go back on the shelf. Definitely one for the “R” shelf and perhaps “season-winter” as well. Thanks to Little Brown & Co for providing a copy for review.Originally posted: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2012/02/21/a-starlit-snowfall-by-nancy-willard-illustrated-by-jerry-pinkney/
