Review Quotes: "The third installment in the Andy & Sandy series for new readers comes right in time for winter. Diminutive Andy is hesitant about venturing out into the snow, but the taller Sandy, a kid who knows snow, is more enthusiastic. Andy greets each activity Sandy suggests with skepticism.... Short, declarative sentences, single-syllable words, and repeated vocabulary make this unleveled reader ideal for children just beginning to read on their own. A welcome return for Andy and Sandy!"-- "Kirkus Reviews, July 2016"
