Why read it?
1 author picked My Penguin Osbert as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One reason I love snow so much is the way it muffles the world, making everything soft and fuzzy around the edges.
The essence of that feeling is distilled perfectly in Lewis’s beautifully-lit pastel and pencil illustrations, squeezing so much colour into every inch—even of “white” snow.
It’s a lovely story about a little boy taking responsibility for his action. I love a children’s book with a final illustration that undercuts the sentimentality of any preceding message, and this does that hilariously.
From Howard's list on illustrated stories packed full of snow.
