I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the rhyming text. I loved the pictures. I loved the book. This is a winner.

Cozy read!
Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Jabberwocky for the opportunity to read and review One Snowy Day by Diana Murray and Diana Toledano!
Aesthetically pleasing illustrations accompany rhyming text as the story counts up to ten and then back down again. Very cozy wintertime book, 5 stars!

This follows a 12 days of Christmas theme but with kids excited about the first snowfall of the season: “Two sleepy children are soon out of bed, three happy faces peer out through the glass....then out come four snow boots for four stomping feet.....”

Beautiful illustrations
Lovely rhymes
Diverse group of kids
Snow and holiday season

What’s not to like!

I never could resist a snowy day when I was a child and these two children plus their dog can’t either. First a little “downward dog” stretching then breakfast. Bundled up in boots and snuggled in scarves they head out to enjoy sledding, snowballs and making a snowman – snowperson? – with their friends. The text is easy to follow and with the lovely pictures it will allow children to practice their counting skills – and dream of their own winter fun. B+

This is a book that kids are going to learn to repeat along with you because the  rhyming text flows so nicely. The story is told by counting and it doesn't just go from 1 to 10 - it actually counts backward as well. So even if your kids think that counting from 1 to 10 is easy, they can practice their numbers in reverse to reach the end of the story. The illustrations are so cute and detailed, and as you might guess from the cover, the puppy steals the show. This is a book you will be reading over and over all winter long. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This is a cute book about 2 children and their puppy on a snowy day. It also has counting forward and backwards from 1-9. With the numbers are included different winter activities like sledding, snow angels, snowmen and more. I really like how the puppy was added as a part of the story. In this book children can learn 2 things numbers and winter activities. This book would be a great bedtime story as it is partically ryhming and short to read. I recommend this book for 2-4 yr olds.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

A counting book with whimsical illustrations depicting a winter day. The title would be ideal for a read aloud, first counting up to ten, and then it counts down to one. A worthwhile addition.

This was such a sweet picture book, that was perfect for our 5-year-old. He loved the rhyming and counting as we read through the book. The illustrations are beautifully done and the topic is so relatable as we live in Vermont and always look forward to the first snow storm. It is engaging and very fun to read. Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for gifting me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

5 stars! Cute illustrations for preschool kids. Mostly a picture book but some short sentences. Counting is part of the story line. The kids need to find their puppy that ran out in the snow. They have a lot of fun doing that! I think all young children would l have fun with this read.

Many thanks to Diana Murray and publisher, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, for an ARC to read digitally for a review. Highly recommended!

One Snowy Day is a cute counting book designed for young readers. I liked that words rhymed and the flow was predictable in a way that children will be excited to hear the next line. The illustrations were beautiful and we could feel the snow and the cozy snuggles at the end. This would be a great edition to a winter reading basket or a night time reading time.

A perfect book for a snow themed story time. It counts up and down. The rhymes slide smooth as a sled in fresh powder snow. And the illustrations makes the reader want a cup of hot cocoa. Plus a snuggle with the adorable puppy that joins the play date.

The perfect book to get kids excited for cold weather! I loved following this group of children through a lovely snowy day. The puppy was also so adorable and I liked that the story begins and ends with him. I grew up in Maine, where winter is a magical time, and I love sharing winter books with my small patrons here in Missouri, which isn't exactly a winter wonderland. It opens their eyes to different types of weather than they typically experience.

An adorable well written kids book. Illustrations make it fun to read. I love the counting of items throughout the story and on each page. A great learning book without toddles realizing they are learning.

This is a great book to ready on a snowy day. The soft gentle illustrations really bring the story alive. The story is wonderful and filled with snowy day fun. The counting in the book is fun for kids, as it counts up to ten and then back down to one.

One Snowy Day is perfect for preschool aged children in so many ways! As a speech language pathologist, I am always looking for ways to incorporate rhyming into sessions. This book has rhyming prose that will improve language skills to prepare young children for reading. Beautiful illustrations will hold even the most energetic young child's attention.

The story incorporates counting into the story, by first adding and the subtracting in a simplistic, but fun way. Concepts of math, as well as other linguistic concepts such before/after, around, and other spatial concepts are able to be taught using this lovely book. Every preschool teacher will want to incorporate this book into their classroom library. One Snowy Day will be a favorite for your child for years.

A solid five stars!

Thank you to the publisher and #NetGalley for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

VERY cute with excellent illustrations. A barking puppy wakes up the household. The two children in the household are very happy that it had snowed! After breakfast and bundling up, all three of them go out to play. This, while learning to count to 10 with numbers and visuals.

What a sweet (and learning, too) read!

Thanks to Diana Murray, Jabberwocky and NetGalley for a delightful read!

This is an adorable picture book that shows not only how much fun you can have on a snowy day, but it is also a counting book. It counts up to 10 using kids, dogs, trees, snowballs, scarves and so on, then counts back down at the end of the outdoor playtime right up until the adorable puppy goes to sleep. The story is about a brother and sister and their puppy, throughout the day. The puppy not only wakes up his owners, but goes sledding with them and eventually steals the carrot nose when the friends are trying to make a snowman. He is just so adorable. This is a perfect book to show all the fun winter can be. The friends in the story show a multi-cultural neighbourhood who all play together. As the day winds down, the two siblings read books, colour and sip hot chocolate. It shows a perfect ending to their delightful snowy day. The illustrations are delightful, with detailed illustrations in soft muted colours for winter scenes. A great book for a family library or a pre-school classroom. The publisher, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.

As summer winds down and kids are going back to school, it's hard to imagine that winter is around the corner! Diana Murray and Diana Toledano help us anticipate the best days of winter in their new counting book, One Snowy Day.



Two kids and their puppy get up and see the new-fallen snow. They and their friends have a ball sledding, making a snowman, having a snowball fight. During the day, they count up to ten and then back down to one.



Murrays rhymes and Toledano's classic illustrations make the book memorable and re-readable. Kids will have fun counting the objects on each page. It's an idyllic world of snow and fun, just the way a kids books should be. Now, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!









Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

What can be better than spending a wonderful winter's day outdoors building, creating and enjoying the possibilities that playing in the snow can bring?

This lyrical rhyming book is also a counting book. The numbers climb up to 10 then back down to 1. It incorporates numeracy into the theme of a delightful winter's romp with your friends.

Millions of snowflakes crown the activities in this small town. ONE sweet rambunctious puppy and TWO bundled up kids are ready to go. They glide on their sleds, swish out snow angels, pack perfect snowballs to throw, sculpt the snow into a giant snowman and then decorate him with buttons and a carrot nose. But wait.... the carrot nose has been stolen by a furry four-legged intruder. Oh My!!! Who could that be? Can the kids retrieve that carrot and finish off their snowman masterpiece completed by his nose? I think they will be surprised when they do discover where the carrot actually does ends up.

This is a perfect book that highlights how engaging winter actually can be. The book showcases a diverse array of friends who eagerly join in the fun with the two siblings. The book's colour pallet depicts the cool colours of the winter landscape outdoors, and then the warm indoor colours that give the reader a sense of coziness and completion. The kids read books, colour and sip hot chocolate. It shows a perfect ending to their delightful snowy day.

I highly recommend this book.

This was a charming read!
This is a cute story of a brother and sister waking up on a snowy day and the fun they have with their friends. Written in rhyme and counting forwards and backwards this story has many learning opportunities.
Beautiful illustrations, I really loved the different patterns and textures throughout the book.

Thank you Net Galley and Sourcebooks Jabberwocky for the advance copy!
