Description

Through a gorgeous exploration of the isolation and the beauty of northern winter, renowned folk artist Maxwell Newhouse has created a deceptively simple counting book. Its bold contrasting colours and shapes are perfect for even the youngest of readers.

Counting on Snow invites children to count down from ten crunching caribou to one silent moose, finding other northern animals - from seals to wolves to snowy owls - along the way. As the animals appear, so does more and more snow, until it's a character too, illuminating the differences between light and dark, sky and earth.
