Description
Description
On a snowy day . . . Two flakes play. Four flakes sashay. Eight flakes twirl. Sixteen flakes swirl. At this rate, how long will it take to surpass 100 snowflakes? How about 1,000? Or even 16,000?
Experience a snowstorm that brings together playful rhyming verse with the power of exponential growth! Bob Raczka's clever rhymes come to life in the dynamic illustrations of Bryony Clarkson. The artwork includes the precise number of snowflakes mentioned in the text, starting with 2 and ending with an astonishing 16,384!
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"[T]his arrangement is a delightful, rarer find that jumps from simple counting to exponential growth." -- Booklist
-- (8/16/2023 12:00:00 AM)"The beautifully textured illustrations create visual interest, while the snowflakes, a combination of smudge-style dots and the delicately articulated, folded papercut versions familiar from grade-school arts and crafts, offer a counting opportunity for budding numerophiles."--The Horn Book Magazine
-- (8/2/2023 12:00:00 AM)"Cool! Snow really has the power to wow--and teaches math, too." --Kirkus Reviews
-- (8/7/2023 12:00:00 AM)"A great book for the wintertime that can be used to explain what exponents are in math class as one can challenge the students to calculate each new equation on the page."--Children's Literature
