The Power of Snow

by Robert Raczka (Author) Bryony Clarkson (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

On a snowy day . . . Two flakes play. Four flakes sashay. Eight flakes twirl. Sixteen flakes swirl. At this rate, how long will it take to surpass 100 snowflakes? How about 1,000? Or even 16,000?

Experience a snowstorm that brings together playful rhyming verse with the power of exponential growth! Bob Raczka's clever rhymes come to life in the dynamic illustrations of Bryony Clarkson. The artwork includes the precise number of snowflakes mentioned in the text, starting with 2 and ending with an astonishing 16,384!
