From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3—Fisher takes techniques from video and digital media to explain a scientific concept. The book opens on the stage of a cooking show whose hosts, Snow White, Jack Frost, and a snowman named Chef Kelvin, use the cooking metaphor to teach the audience how snow is made. Snippets of text appear, recipe fashion, on each spread and deconstruct the processes of evaporation, deposition, application of heat (or cold), and precipitation. The visually dynamic, digitally created art features lettering that helps tell the story. For example, the word "water" spills from a measuring cup and looks, well, wet. Fisher includes collage, dialogue asides, arrows, onomatopoeic descriptors, and fact boxes, yet maintains clarity, cohesion, and purpose. Snow Show will be a hit with teachers who need to get a point across and with youngsters who are used to the visual stimulus of a screen.—Lisa Egly Lehmuller, St. Patrick's Catholic School, Charlotte, NC Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Delightful and Educational
The Snow Show reads easily and is a delightful story but by the end I was amazed at how much I had learned about snow. Details that were new and fascinating to me as a Minnesotan who lives with snow for many months each year. The side humor is very clever and the illustrations are magical. I highly recommend it!

The Snow Show
This book was a wonderful way to introduce or reinforce the water cycle. The comic book-type format added humor and interest. The artwork was delightful. It provided a perfect match for the text.
