Book Review: The Snow Angel by Christine Leeson

✰✰✰½ Daisy and Sam are two little mice as excited as can be about Christmas. They rush outside into the Christmas snow and are surprised when an angel falls from the sky. The concerned little mice rush to the fallen angel's aid offering it food and watching over it. When it comes time for the angel to take flight again, she leaves behind a gift of her own to the delight of the mice.

The Bottom Line: This charming tale is easy to read to the little ones and emphasizes themes of kindness and sharing. Children will adore Jane Chapman's glittery illustrations in soft pastels. Recommended for toddlers through kids in Grade 1.
