Dream Snow is about a farmer who has a small farm and has named his five animals; One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. One night after a long days work the farmer came in to have dinner and relax. After the farmer ate he sat down to rest and could not stop thinking about how it was almost Christmas and

there had still not been any snow. The farmer then fell asleep and dreamed of a blanket of snow covering his farm, and soon awoke to find his dream had come true. He then rushed outside and decorated a tree, leaving gifts for One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. At the end of the book there is a button that will play a short Christmas tune. This would be a good book to use for kindergarten around Christmas time.

This book is lovely to look at, but there's not much of a story here. It's about a farmer who has farm animals he calls "one," "two," "three," etc. It's near Christmas but it hasn't snowed on the farm yet. The farmer falls asleep and dreams of snow covering him and his farm animals. When he wakes

up, he realizes that it has really snowed. He goes out to his barn and decorates a tree near his barn with Christmas ornaments and lights.

It's almost like Eric Carle had the artwork and then came up with some sort of lame narrative as an after thought. But the artwork is so lovely. When the farmer dreams of snow, there's an overlay that covers the animals with blankets of snow. At the end, when he decorates his tree there's a button to push in the back of the book that sets off a pleasing (non Christmasy) tinkly bit of music. When the farmer goes out after it's snowed he looks remarkably like Santa.

A farmer dreams of snow. His snowy dream covers him and his 5 farm animals with a white blanket of snowflakes. When the farmer wakes up from his nap he realizes his dream was not a dream. It really did snow a white blanket. He realizes that he had almost forgotten to decorate his tree for

Christmas.

This story was very colorful. The clear paper with white snow was interesting to see.

Students could create their own Christmas tree and hang them on the classroom wall. Each student could describe to the class what their family does on the Christmas holiday.

A farmer who appears to be santa clause has five animals. He named his animals one, two, three, four, and five. One day the farmer takes a nap and dream about blankets of snow. When he wakes up, he realizes that it is Christmas. He dressed up in his suit and packed up all the toys. As he was about

to leave, he suddenly stops and remembers that he didn't set up the Christmas tree for his animals. This book was very cute, it appeared to have 3D images. At the end of the story there was a page that showed his Christmas tree and it lite up. A child can relate snow to Christmas or like children in Louisiana, we relate cold weather to Christmas.
