From Publishers Weekly Excited when the weather report predicts a snowstorm, Keller's series heroine, a saucy pink pig, "is full of her usual high spirits," said PW. Ages 3-up.

From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1 Like most young children, plump pig Geraldine waits with impatient anticipation for the first big snowstorm of the season. While the neighbors go about their preparations, stocking shelves and supplementing leisure reading supplies, Geraldine gazes longingly at the still-dry sky. Geraldine is a winning character, as are her animal neighbors. Readers will see and feel her frustration, impatience, and final satisfaction as the snow does indeed fall, and she gets her long-awaited sled ride. With its soft, clean colors and illustrations large enough for group sharing, this is the perfect choice to pair with Keats' The Snowy Day (Viking, 1962) for a winter story session for toddlers. It's fresh, appealing, and perfectly delightful.
