Absolutely timeless

So this is pretty much one of the best books ever written. The story is sweet and magical in the way of nature, and the pictures are just to die for with Keats' imaginative and surprisingly expressive design that still has not quite been beaten since. The book, story and pictures together, provides a warm, homey feeling that immediately shows a life. Keats deserved this Caldecot.

Great story.

I remember reading this and Whistle for Willy as a infant. I was very happy to share these stories with my son. We both enjoy the unique illustrations and the easy to follow storyline. Classic.

Childhood memories

My mom read to me every night as a infant and our library of infantren's books were immense. I have vivid memories of approx 10 books out of hundreds and this is one of them. I agree with another reviewer that this book captures the quiet and stillness of a snowy winter day in the city. It is a simple book but my daughter loves it as much as I did back in the 80's.
The other notable books from my infanthood were

Harold and the purple crayon

Animalia

Goodnight Moon

Runaway bunny

Go! Dog Go!

And this whole monster series that I can not recall the exact names of....something like Monsters ABC and one about manners....I dunno.

I really love Snowy Day though...
