Shulevitz uses simple language to create a beautiful story. The children want snow, but everyone keeps saying no snow or telling them that it will melt. Finally, one drop starts the snowfall and it keeps coming! The illustrations of Snow received the Caldecott honor. This book would be useful in teaching narrative writing because it describes a short time period with many details. It could also be used to begin a science study on snow or winter.
