Book size about 9 by 10 1/2 inches with some 33 pages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. The enchanting illustrations are a perfect enhancement to the lovely story. First published in 1947, White Snow, Bright Snow captures all the fun, magic, and mystery of a snowfall. Roger Duvoisin' s pictures in soft blue half-tones with briliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the gaiety and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text. All the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book - the frost ferns on the window sill, the snow man in the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world. But the children laughed and danced, and caught the lacy snowflakes on thier tongues. When the first flakes fell from the grey sky, the postman and the farmer and the policeman and his wife scurried about doing all the practical things grownups do when a snowstorm comes.
