Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Snow Is Falling
Franklyn M. Branley · 1987
76/100
👍 Worth It
Branley is one of the great science communicators for young children, and this Let's-Read-and-Find-Out entry has the hallmarks of the series at its best: accurate science, age-calibrated language, and a warm tone that makes the natural world feel friendly rather than intimidating. The 1987 text shows its age in design, but the core science of snow formation, insulation, and blizzard hazards is timeless. A reliable classroom and home-library staple for the K-2 crowd.
