Publisher Description
A charming winter picture book about friendship and dogs set against the perfect snowy day.
Snow!
Snow!
And more snow!
It’s the perfect day to play in the newly fallen snow. Oscar can’t contain his excitement—and before his boy Matt knows it, Oscar is off on a wintry adventure. Dashing through the woods, Oscar finds another dog playing in the snow—Daisy! Together they find all sorts of adventures—ice skating making dog angels in the snow, and they even build an igloo!
Snow Friends is a seasonal friendship story with all the timeless understated charm of The Biggest, Best Snowman, by the same bestselling team of Margery Cuyler and Will Hillenbrand.

Third-person narration centers the perspective of butterscotch-colored corgi Oscar in this energetic winter adventure. When Oscar's boy, Matt, a pale child with dust-colored hair, postpones his walk, the canine walks himself, exploring the snowy landscape as a dog does chasing a rabbit, nabbing another dog's ball before meeting a gray floppy-eared pup named Daisy at an iced-over pond. After building a snow dog, ice skating, and erecting an igloo, the hounds smell Oscar's boy and Daisy's girl (who has brown skin and dark hair) nearby, and they are all united: snow friends. Hillenbrand's cheery multimedia illustrations created with, among other media, pencils, chalk, pastel, ink, "watercolor (with a melted snowball)," and collage feature softly colored comics-style panels that will enhance readers' enjoyment of the dialogue-heavy text. A seasonal read for doggy devotees. Ages 3 6.
