Eric Carle´s Dream Snow has become a contemporary Christmas classic since it was published more than a decade ago. Now it´s the perfect board book for a new generation of Carle fans. The edition includes board-book novelty elements: peekaboo animals hidden under the snow, the shimmering tree decorated for the holiday and glittery snowflakes on the cover. It´s full of surprises as the Santa-like farmer dreams of snow on Christmas Eve, and wakes to discover real snow has fallen, just in time for him to give gifts to his cherished animals.
