Snow, Snow, Snow!: A Christmastime Song

Celebrate snow, snow, snow with a Christmastime song in this latest holiday classic from the one and only Sandra Boynton.

When a group of winter animals see the falling snow, they know it’s a sign that Christmastime is just around the corner. And they’ve got a song to sing!

Join in this cheerful, holiday classic with a link to a festive video that will have your entire family singing along as they decorate the tree. Includes glockenspiels, penguins, sunglasses, and a winter’s supply of snow…all in one sweet board book that’s sure to make a terrific stocking stuffer or Christmas read year after year.

Oh there is snow (snow snow).
It’s coming down (down down).
And it is fall, fall, falling all around (round round).
And you can tell (tell tell)
what’s on its way.
Oh it will soon (soon soon)
be Christmas Day.

"This Christmas board book features adorable, silly animals all dressed up and singing about the holiday. A polar bear in sunglasses and a scarf kicks things off with opening lines to what will surely be a new classic: “Oh there is snow, snow, snow. It’s coming down, down, down, and it is fall, fall, falling all around, round, round./ And you can tell, tell, tell what’s on its way-ee-yay./ Yes! It will soon, soon, soon be Christmas Day!” As the song continues in amusing fashion, more of Boynton’s lovable characters join, including a penguin, moose, reindeer, and, of course, a pig. All except the penguin (who occasionally provides musical accompaniment and encouragement) sing along and decorate a tree together, before going sledding and continuing their song in the snow. Kids will enjoy the bright, happy, cartoon-style illustrations and the rhythms of the song, which caregivers will simply have to sing when reading aloud. An animation of the song will be available on Boynton’s YouTube channel."
