The Snow Thief by Alice Hemming

Join us for a cozy winter storytime as we read Snow Thief by Alice Hemming, illustrated by Nicola Slater.
Squirrel wakes up to discover that the snow has disappeared—and he’s convinced someone must have stolen it! As he searches for the missing snow, children are taken on a playful journey that explains where snow really goes and why it melts.

In this read-aloud, children will explore:
❄️ Cause & Effect: What happens to snow when temperatures change?
❄️ Prediction & Inference: Who does Squirrel think took the snow—and why?
❄️ Science Connections: An introduction to melting and weather concepts

This engaging and humorous read-aloud is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade students, especially during winter units focused on weather, seasonal changes, and curiosity about the world.
