ReviewsThe latest addition to the Andy and Sandy series finds the two friends celebrating winter's first snow.... The brief text offers much to emerging readers: a predictable story; succinct sentences; and appealing, diverse characters involved in familiar activities. DePaola's distinctive acrylic-and-colored-pencil artwork features soft colors, generous white backgrounds, and characters portrayed in settings often defined by simple lines. Red-haired, spectacled Sandy and brown-skinned Andy clearly communicate their changing perspectives on snow with expressive faces and energetic body positions, while delightful endpapers depict each child's idea of winter fun. A satisfying pick for newly minted readers., In the third book in the series, Andy and Sandy find themselves playing in the first snow of the season.... This book is perfect for young children learning how to read. Endpapers reveal the characters' artwork, which describe the wintry season. Illustrations are done in acrylics and colored pencil, making the tone of the story sweet and playful. VERDICT: No need to have read the first two titles in this series; this one can stand on its own. A fun seasonal selection for beginning readers., The third installment in the Andy & Sandy series for new readers comes right in time for winter. Diminutive Andy is hesitant about venturing out into the snow, but the taller Sandy, a kid who knows snow, is more enthusiastic. Andy greets each activity Sandy suggests with skepticism.... Short, declarative sentences, single-syllable words, and repeated vocabulary make this unleveled reader ideal for children just beginning to read on their own. A welcome return for Andy and Sandy!, The third installment in the Andy & Sandy series for new readers comes right in time for winter.
