    5.0 out of 5 stars Get Ready for Spring!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
    Format: Library BindingVerified Purchase
    Buffy Silverman is known for her beautiful photography and many many stem books. You can find all about her poems in anthologies on her website, including one poem "What Does A River Rock Gather?" that is a marvelous example of her love of nature that spills over into poetry!
    Look also at her website to discover all kinds of non-fiction books that include topics like dwarf rabbits, mako sharks, baby chickens, and bonobos!
    But now it's time to be thinking about spring, yes, SPRING! In her introduction to this newest book full of nature's wonders, you'll find those things we all look forward to (even in February), signs of the season we love to welcome.

    Buffy invites us to "Watch the world come to life."

    In a poetic slide from the beginning, using gorgeous photos (some by Buffy, too!) she adds her poetry like "Clouds break./Salamanders wake./Icicles drip/Chickadees sip." all the way to the end.
    Buffy has created a celebration of this season so welcome after wintry snow and cold. The picture on the back cover shows a gorgeous purple crocus pushing up, up, though crunchy snow! Remember how excited you were when you discovered that first color, heralding spring?
    The book creates a wonderful way to celebrate a welcome to spring. At the back, Buffy has added short paragraphs explaining each part, like "peepers" and "beaver gnaws" along with a glossary and books for further reading! If you study seasons or simply want a grand welcome to spring for a classroom or for your own children and grandchildren, this is a wonderful choice.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A super fun, nature-themed book for kids
    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
    Format: Library Binding
    If you read this book to kids during a late winter warmup, they’ll want to run outside and search for the book’s drip-droppy, slip-sloppy, snow-melting signs of spring. The rhyming text is spare and fun to read, and it reminds us that it’s not just humans who experience Nature’s seasonal changes. I thoroughly enjoyed reading lines like ‘On a hawk-squawking, paw-sinking, woods-walking day,’ all beautifully illustrated with gorgeous photos. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nonfiction poetry that will captivate 3-8 year olds
    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020
    Format: Library Binding
    Described in a starred Kirkus review as “Crocus-poking, mud-luscious enjoyment,” Buffy Silverman describes On a Snow-Melting Day as "an extended poem about all the changes that occur as winter retreats and spring begins. It features chickadees sipping from icicles, spotted salamanders marching over melting snow, and insects warming themselves in skunk cabbage."

    Her description of the change of season is factual, yet never trite or dull. One of the qualities I find most remarkable about Buffy Silverman's evocative writing is her ability to transform carefully observed small details into poetry, finding the perfect word in every instance, even when it's one she's had to invent herself. Buffy is adept at wordplay alchemy and On a Snow-Melting Day: Seeking Signs of Spring is a superb example of what kind of enchantment can come of it.

    Vibrant photographs paired with playful rhyming verse will captivate young children, making this book an ideal read-aloud for home, preschool, or library story time. For grades 1-3, teachers will appreciate this book as a mentor text because of the expressive sensory language. They can also make use of the back matter (an informational author's note, glossary, and further reading) to extend and enhance interactive learning. The book is "perfect," according to the School Library Journal, "for answering nature-related questions or crafting lesson plans."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous language to celebrate winter into spring
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022
    Format: Library Binding
    What a bright, delightful rhyming picture book about spring. This reminds me of April Pulley Sayre's lovely books about the seasons, and it is full of delicious language and beautiful, close-up images. Who wouldn't want to say, "On a hawk-squawking, paw-sinking, woods-walking day..."? Kids will love using the photos to "interpret" the poetic phrases. So much fun! Plus back matter with more detail :>)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Science meets poetry, with awesome photographs!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2021
    Format: Library Binding
    Children's nonfiction, science/poetry. This book is told in rhyming text and illustrated with fantastic photographs. Here is one section that is an example of the highly-descriptive words used: "On a puddle-sploshing, crocus-poking, mitten-soaking day...Mud splatters. Chipmunk chatters. Buds grow. Goodbye, snow" Every single part of that text has a photograph to accompany it-- that blurb featured 7 different photos! I loved the close-up photos of snow, animals, and people too. A great book to read aloud for a winter or spring themed storytime, could also be used to help young elementary school students learn about descriptive writing. Back matter includes a blurb about each photo, a glossary (the terms are related to the text but don't actually appear in the text, which I found a bit odd), and a list of books for further reading.

    What a deceptively simple but absolutely delightful text about the glory of the first spring days. The photographs are crisp and surprising, especially those like the chickadee, mid-flight, sipping from an icicle. Each page made me wonder at how Silverman put together this but with such ease and wonderment. Just wonderful—perfect for classrooms and lap snuggles at home!
