My Review:
Larry the Lizard lives in the part of Australia where snow rarely falls during winter and where December marks the beginning of hot summer days. But he never stops wishing for a white Christmas, regardless of how silly it may sound to his friends. When his dream finally comes true like a miracle, Larry can't wait to invite his friends to try out all the fun snow activities together. They have such a blast and the best Christmas ever!
Written with great humor and playful rhymes, The Lizard Who Loves A Blizzard is sure to bring laughter and excitement to young readers. I find it extremely hard not to fall in love with Larry, the kind, cheerful and friendly lizard who dares to dream and loves to share. The colorful and adorable illustrations enrich the book tremendously with fascinating details, such as snowboarding posters on Larry's bedroom walls, Larry's expressive big eyes filled with hope and goodwill, and lively portraits of snow play. The story encourages us to stay positive, enjoy life to the fullest, and spread the cheer whenever possible. It's a sweet, engaging read perfect for the winter season.
