Book Summary

Peter wakes up to a world covered in fresh snow. He puts on his snowsuit and goes outside to explore. He makes tracks, a snowman, snow angels, and slides down a hill. He tries to save a snowball in his pocket, but it melts. Back inside, he takes a warm bath and dreams of his snowy adventures. The next morning, he wakes to find more snow and goes out to play with a friend.
