One cold, gray day, Old Man Winter leads his snow ponies out of their barn. "Are you ready?" he asks. Yes! Then they gallop, and everything they touch turns white with snow, bringing winter to forests and fields. The lyrical text and Jason Cockcroft's beautifully painted ponies capture the magic of a first snowfall for readers and listeners up to 7.

"The brief text is rich with descriptive phrases…. This book could be used as a starting point for sparking students' imagination about snow, and the illustrations will definitely attract young equine fans."—School Library Journal
