Review:

Jolly Tall is desperate to see the snow, but it's not cold enough outside. His friends decide to show him the magic of snow by creating special indoor snow. Their first few attempts are unsuccessful but Old Bear soon comes up with the answer and the toys are soon enjoying an indoor snowstorm. Outside, real snow starts to fall but the lure of Old Bear's snowflake biscuits proves too tempting--besides, real snow is cold! Children will delight in the toys' attempts to create the magic of snow and thoroughly enjoy their escapades. With warm and humorous colour pictures, Jane Hissey recreates both the magic of snow and the cosy world of the nursery. --Philippa Reece

Review:

"There is humor in some of the shenanigans the cuddly friends get into, but their teamwork and persistence are endearing. The illustrations are soft and muted, giving a cozy, friendly tone to the story. VERDICT A jolly seasonal selection, especially for Hissey's many fans." --"School Library Journal"
