review 1: This was really cool and the pictures of actual snow flakes were very pretty. I think it would be good for kids around 3rd-4th grade. It explained how snowflakes form and why they look like they do. It also covered the different varieties of snow and approximate conditions for their formation. I appreciated the actual photographs and actual size comparisons. I know my kids learned something, and so did I. From now on we'll only be cutting six-sided snowflakes for decorations. ;)
review 2: Mark Cassino writes an informative book about how snow crystals form. I learned a few things like snow crystals form six sides because water molecules attach to each other in six-sided rings. We can see clouds when sunlight reflects off the water droplets. Snowflakes are ma... morede up of clumps of snow crystals. It almost makes me wish that I lived where it snowed...almost. The book is filled with magnified snow crystals that are beautiful and spectacular. In a few cases, the author shows how small the real crystal is. It's a great comparison. This book provides a good introduction to snow crystals and should be interesting to children from grades 1 through grades 7 or 8. less
