Product Description
The 1963 Caledecott Medal winner, The Snowy Day, Ezra Jack Keatss lushly illustrated story of Peter, a young boy experiencing the years first snowfall, has delighted millions of readers.

These two classics are now available together in a striking package. Complete with a DVD that includes a fillm of each book, this is a must have gift for the holidays.

 Great set, however... February 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 2 book and dvd set arrives handsomely boxed and packaged. However, upon opening the original set ordered, I found the book's cover to be covered in a clear plastic film. The film had holes, air bubbles, tears, and seams all over it - front and back. I returned it and another was sent out immediately, full refund, no questions asked. Would have been happy but the next book arrived in the same condition! As a huge fan of Ezra Jack Keats, this book should have been a perfect gift to my local library- the intention of the purchase. However, the book arrived in such an unattractive condition that I simply wrote the library a check so that they could purchase their own copy elsewhere - hopefully with a better cover! As for the novel itself. Keat's timeless stories, The Snowy Day and Whistle for Willy are classically told & portrayed with original artwork. Simple and understated, the author still holds appeal for both young and older readers. The Snowy Day is a story about a little boy's adventures out in the snow. Whistle for Willie shows the joy this same young boy faces when he finally learns to whistle for his dog. The dvd is a nice addition. This author is a must have for any young reader! Would have gotten 5 stars if not for the lousy contact papering job...
 Good combo January 12, 2008
I thought this was a neat gift for my 6 yr old niece who asked for The Snowy Day. Didn't read or view myself when it came in but thank you note says she loves it.
