My 2 and 4 year olds loved hearing this narrative about 2 snow leopard Cubs learning how to survive in the wild. They learned lots of facts about the animals, and my 4YO was able to infer many of the lessons learned based on the events of the page. A good read aloud for learning about snow leopards or for teaching how to make inferences.
The snow leopard is a magnificent animal whose existence is unfortunately threatened. This picture book follows the early lives of two cubs as their mother shows them how to live in the demanding mountains of Pakistan. The illustrations present the environment where the animals tend to blend in quite nicely and the text is very informative.I liked the book and its contents. This would be a nice way to introduce a child to not only the snow leopard but any other endangered animal. Use "Snow School" to school your child on how animals must adapt to their environments and how their mothers show them the ins and outs of survival. Anyway you look at it...this is one cool book!
Stunning book! The narrative follows one snow leopard family, showing how the cubs learn to hunt and survive in their harsh Asian mountain habitat. The text is beautiful, brief, and dramatic. The art is gorgeous! I didn't like one page where the art contradicts the description in the text, but other than that, I found this book pretty dang flawless.
