Walter de la Mare's evocatively wintery poem is brought to new life by the simple, warm illustrations of Carolina Rabei, as a family prepares for Christmas and the world around them turns white. (Little London)

The gorgeous illustrations conjure up a magical Christmas landscape and skillfully interpret this evocative poem which celebrates the beauty and wonder of snow. A lovely book to share at bedtime (Carousel)

Rabei's illustrations are very warming and full of detail - perfect to pore over on a cold, wintry day. (Creative Review)

Though this will inevitably be placed on the picture books shelves - and why not? - it should also find its way into the hands of older children. It could provide a door to poets and poetry. (Books for Keeps)

(Junior Magazine)

Walter de la Mare's quiet poem, Snow (Faber £6.99, Age 3+), about the emptiness of a white landscape, has contrasting illustrations by Carolina Rabei full of the busyness of Christmas, depicted in nostalgic screen prints with a limited, muted palette. The storytelling is in the pictures, the words a background, like snow falling outside a festive room. (Sunday Times)

A short and beautiful poem by de la Mare stretched out to make a lovely picture book that celebrates the wonder of snow (Country Life)
