![]() In Jolly Snow, Jane Hissey’s beautifully illustrated characters come up with some very original (and sometimes messy!) ways of explaining snow to their friend. Young children believe that their soft toys are real and have their own adventures and the Old Bear stories are a wonderful celebration of this belief. They watch the snow while eating Bramwell’s snowflake biscuits (the best kind of snow in Jolly Tall’s opinion!). Rabbit decorates the playroom windows with feathers but then realises that there is real snow falling outside. ![]() The toys make a sledge and sledge through the paper cuttings before crashing into some cushions which burst and shower them with feathers. He has been making things out of paper and his paper cuttings look like snow. Then they go and ask Old Bear to help them. The toys try to explain what snow is by showing him a snow globe, playing in flour and and making bubbles. The Story: It is winter and Jolly Tall has never seen snow. Little Bear, Zebra and Rabbit do their best to help their friend with the support of the two more senior members of the playroom, Old Bear and Bramwell. ![]() ![]() I love the way that Jane Hissey’s adorable characters try to help Jolly Tall, the giraffe, understand what snow is. ![]()
