Story
Peter wakes one morning to find that it has snowed in the night. He quickly puts on his snowsuit and goes outside to play. He’s not old enough to join the big boys for a snowball fight, so he makes snow angels, builds a snowman, and makes tracks in the snow. Will the snow still be there in the morning?

Why we chose it
