Little Snowshoe

Set in the Arctic, this charming, beautifully illustrated story unfolds with Little Snowshoe looking for his mother. Against the whiteness of the snow he is continually fooled by other objects that he mistakes for her. Finally, exhausted from his search, he falls asleep to be awakened by his mother who has found him. Little Snowshoe is an easy-to-read book, which bases its story line on the camouflage ability of the snowshoe rabbit.

The repetitious pattern of this story makes it appropriate for read aloud, let’s read together, or you read to me experiences. A lovely story to share about parent/child bonding. A special feature of this 30th anniversary edition is two pages of information about The Arctic Hare and a glossary of terms connected to the topic. Suggested activities for illustrating, sequencing and learning about predators are also outlined at the back of the book.
