A fun read, furr-real! Meet Sally and the fun day she has out in the snow! Always good to view winters best from a different perspective! Loved this book and so did my kiddos! Great illustrations and full of pawsome illustrations!

Sally's Snow Day follows Sally the puppy as she frolicks in the snow on a winter day.

What initially drew me to this book was the art style and illustration! It is indeed cute and fun to look at. This would be perfect for early readers.

Although easy on the eyes, I felt that the story was a bit lacking in this one. Usually, I like to see children's books that have some lesson or takeaway attached to them, but this book was too short to get into more interesting topics.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Utterly adorable! This book is perfect for young readers, and is able to be read anytime. The story was clear, and is very easy for kids to follow along with and latch onto. This is subtly teaching kids about story structure, which is awesome. All of the writing is simple and concise, but still fun and engaging at the same time.
As for the illustrations, I loved them! They were so cute and colorful, making the book unique, fun, and whimsical, perfect for young readers. I know that many kids will love reading this book more than once.
Bravo!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. It's Sally's very first snow day. Follow her and her owner around for a fun time in the snow.

Sally's Snow Day displays some routine management, but overall a fun snow day for a sweet dog. There's a page or two of putting on winter coats and winter boots, but the bulk of this story takes place at the snowy dog park, where Sally makes fun doggy memories. This book is a great literacy tool for early childhood readers that live in snowy states, or experiencing their first winter/snow. Young readers can practice their print awareness and vocabulary while reading this book.

This adorable picture book about a little dog's day out in the snow is perfect for preschool puppy lovers! The illustrations are colourful and cute and the text is simple and sweet.

An adorable picture book about a dog playing outside in the snow with its friend. The story line is very simple: Sally gets ready to play outside, meets dog friends and plays and then returns home.
This story is a better fit for very young children who will additionally have very beautiful illustrations to discover and don't need a lot of excitement in a plot yet.
The message about no snowflake and no dog being the same was especially beautiful.

This was a very dry storyline. There was not much to it that would hold a young readers attention other than the illustrations which were great. Pup gets dressed to go outside, pup sees snow dogs, pup goes home and dreams about snow dogs. Very bland.

Thank you NetGalley, Andrew Larsen and Orca Book Publishers for allowing me to review.

This book is so cute! My daughter and I loved reading it! My daughter loves dogs and snow! It was fun to see all the things Sally did and saw in the snow! I loved how it shows Sally getting ready for her snow day and showing how to properly dress for the snow! I’m hoping we have a few more snow days this year and we can get dressed and play like Sally with our own dogs!

This was a good book. I liked that it was centered around the dogs and the human was the helper! Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

A cute book about a puppy getting dressed to go out and play in the snow. The books overall tone was very dry and lacking excitement. Good for babies but not attention grabbing enough for kids much older. Illustrations were really adorable and well laid out, very colourful. Giving this book a lower score for lack of excitement and shortness.

Sally’s Snow Day is a perfect winter bedtime story. It’s short and sweet. The illustrations are simple yet charming. The story was lovely. My toddler was enraptured with the puppies and the snow. He loved it. I foresee it becoming an addition to our bedtime book pile.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced reader copy. My son and I thank you!

Thank you for the gifted arc! Such an adorable read for children! Love the message of no two dogs being the same 🫶 I also live in a cold state, so I feel like this would be good with learning to bundle up for the outdoors!

This is a sweet little book giving the message that "no two dogs are the same" allowing children to see that everyone is different and unique in their own way. This would be a fun little winter read for children and I believe children who love dogs would love this.
