Snow is my Favorite and My Best

Snow is my Favorite and my Best was written and illustrated by Lauren Child. It was published by The Penguin Group in 2006. It is realistic fiction and appropriate for grades K-2.
This is a story in the Charlie and Lola series. It explores a snow day with this brother and sister. Lola is Charlie’s excited younger sister, who cannot seem to get to sleep because she is so excited for the snow to come tomorrow. They finally get to sleep and in the morning their world has turned completely white. Charlie and Lola go out to play in the snow with their friends and have a wonderful time. They sled and make snow angels and when they get too cold they come home for hot chocolate. Lola plans to go out and play some more the next day, but when they wake up, the snow has melted and everything is going back to normal. Lola wishes that it would snow everyday and Charlie has to explain to Lola that if it snowed everyday it wouldn’t be as special. In the end Charlie has a small surprise for Lola to make the snow last a bit longer!
This is yet another great story by Lauren Child. She takes everyday normal occurrences and makes them funny. Snow is something that every kid looks forward to and this story helps children realize that the magic of snow can’t last forever. I really like the Charlie and Lola series because it makes normal things that everyone goes through become fun and entertaining.
This is a good story to read with a class when winter comes. Depending where you live, kids could have snow days. When beginning a lesson on the winter season, this story would be great for younger children.
