這本書描寫的是小女孩在冬天時身上所穿的衣服。適合4歲以上兒童閱讀。Kuskin's poem "Winter Clothes," originally published in 1964, is now the text of an appealing picture book. In the rhyming verses, a child details the many pieces of clothing worn in winter, concluding with the lines "And when I walk / I must not fall / because / I can't get up at all." The poem may be familiar, but its simplicity and childlike voice make it easy to enjoy again and again. Kosaka emulates the poem's unaffected charm in the large illustrations, such as the one that shows a little girl and her dog coming indoors on a snowy day, peeling off layers of winter clothes, and enjoying a snack--milk and cookies for her and dog biscuits for him. Featuring curving lines and warm, textured colors, the artwork will please young children as much as the satisfying verse. Fine fare for winter storytimes. Carolyn Phelan
