The Story of Snow
Bulletin Of The Center For Children's Books (Starred Review)	0000-00-00
Nature photographer Cassino\'s galley of snow crystals is the sort of riveting exhibition that will have eyes locked to the pages, mesmerized by the intricate forms themselves and the \'How did he do that?\' wonder at Cassino\'s technique of capturing images of these ephemeral delicacies.
The Story of Snow
Booklist (Starred Review)	0000-00-00
With never a hint of hyperbole, the authors communicate such a contagious sense of wonder that few readers will be able to resist following the final pages\' simple directions for constructing a handheld snowflake observation stage and rushing outside at the first sign of snow in hopes of taking a closer look at one of nature\'s most beautiful and ubiquitous phenomena.
The Story of Snow
Kirkus Reviews	0000-00-00
The clear and direct narrative takes readers into the clouds to explain snow-crystal formation...and then zooms in on the actual crystals. Sure to get young scientists outside in the cold, particularly as it helpfully includes crystal-catching instructions.
The Story of Snow
School Library Journal	0000-00-00
Libraries in areas where snow falls will definitely want to add this title to their collections, but it would enhance lessons on weather anywhere.
