Critic reviews

Praise for The Snowy Day:

“Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic

The Snowy Day is a wonder to listen to, and picture our beloved New York City covered in snow as Peter explores. The narrator is great!
