The Big Snow and Other Stories: A Treasury of Caldecott Award-Winning Tales | |
"These stories, despite the seventy plus years since their inception, have stood the test of time and, with the lush illustrations, should still appeal to both parent and child. A treasure to keep on the shelf for kids and grandkids." — Buffalo Public Schools
This compilation of Caldecott winners unites three wonderful children's picture books, written and illustrated by a gifted husband-and-wife duo. The stories combine imaginative color drawings with enchanting storytelling, and all three focus on wildlife ecology, depicting memorable scenes from the natural world.
The Big Snow takes place when the geese are headed south and the forest creatures put on their winter coats. When a blanket of snow covers the hills and valleys, the birds, squirrels, mice, and other animals gratefully gather the seeds, nuts, and other foods that the little old man and woman spread for them.
Cock-a-Doodle-Doo traces a little chick's journey from a duck farm to the big red barn, where the rooster's cry draws him across the wide meadow and its many dangers, from crows and raccoons to a marauding fox.
The Mighty Hunter is actually Little Brave Heart, who's reluctant to go to school ― until he encounters a prairie dog, wildcat, buffalo, and other animals that change his mind about the value of reading and writing.
"A wonderful collection of Caldecott Award-winning tales, perfect for a young reader who loves stories about animals. The illustrations are charming and bring the stories to life." — Southeast Community College
Husband-and-wife duo Berta Hader (1890–1976) and Elmer Hader (1889–1973) illustrated more than 70 children's books, many of which they also wrote. In 1948 they won the prestigious Caldecott Medal for The Big Snow, awarded for the year's "most distinguished picture book for children."

I have fond memories of this book as a child, was delighted to find it accidentally here. Beautiful illustrations, makes a great gift for a child.
I love sharing this book with elementary school students during the winter as it gives a great description and pictures of what the animals do to prepare and make it through the winter. I usually read this book along with "White Snow Bright Snow" as examples of books that, although older, continue to entertain and teach in a fun way. I point out that they can probably tell why these books were selected for the Caldecott Medal. (and of course, ask what the medal is given for?) I always ask the children can they tell by the artwork that the books are old? Of course, they can. But the events depicted, don't change, kind of like in the song "The Circle of Life".!!
The beauty of this book lies in its simplicity. A simple plot (winter is coming) with simple characters (sweet woodland creatures) create a charming story. The illustrations are realistic, but not too realistic for a child - there is a softness, a roundness to them that makes them "cute" too. I like that the authors didn't automatically assume that realism is boring to children - on the contrary, it can be fascinating, and is an almost forgotton element in todays children's literature. I read this when I was a little child, and, 20 years later when I looked at it again, it was like coming home. Please buy this book for your children or grandchildren. They'll be happy you did!
What can I say about a Cauldecott winner to make it any greater. Since I come from the land of ice and snow, i.e., the Northeast, I have an affection for the book. I had a copy for my own children and as time has gone on, I have bought a copy for my grandchildren.
