It's Snow Day

Author: Richard Curtis Illustrator: Rebecca Cobb

Publisher: Puffin

Everyone loves a snow day. Nothing beats the joy of waking up to a world covered in white and finding out that there is no school.

But Danny, the worst (well, almost) pupil in the world and Mr Trapper, the strictest teacher in the school, didn't hear the news and now they are at school and stuck with each other.

After a miserable morning, breaktime in a playground full of snow transforms the day for both Danny and Mr Trapper as they bond over snowmen, skating, skiing and igloo-building. But will their unlikely friendship last? Now that would be telling!

This must-read winter picture book is crammed with fabulously joyful and expressive illustrations and will be loved by young and old alike.
