An adorable brown-haired, brown-eyed Caucasian baby enjoys a day full of winter surprises. In this engaging lift-the-flap offering, simple questions are posed and the answers revealed underneath large, easy-to-grasp flaps. Printed on a large, polka-dot curtain is the question "What's outside the window?" Lifting the "curtain" reveals giant snowflakes. On subsequent pages, readers must peek behind a pile of snowballs to find Baby's red sled, behind a mound of dirt to discover a groundhog, behind a fence to find a giant purple snowplow and behind a snowman to find a baby deer. Finally, from behind a pine tree, Baby's mom appears with a frothy mug of hot cocoa. In most cases, a small piece of the hidden object can be seen peeking out from behind the closed flap; these hints will help to keep little ones interested by encouraging them to guess what Baby will find next. Katz's illustrations are--as usual--bright, bold, cheery and full of interesting patterns. They combine with the simple text and interactive flaps to produce an effective and appealing introduction to winter for the littlest readers. With lift-the-flap explorations of spring, summer and fall already on the shelves, this winter offering is a charming culmination to a satisfying series. (Board book. 6 mos.-2)
