Summary: |
Nearly all of this book consists of pictures of snowflakes and frost, taken by "Snowflake Bentley" in the first part of the 20th century. A two-page introduction [excerpted from a 1922 Popular Mechanics article] by the author begins the book. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Pair this book with Jaqueline Martin's Snowflake Bentley. The book provides a wonderful opportunity for ESOL students and beginning readers to compare/contrast pictures through conversation, perhaps charting characteristics such as sharp vs. round points. Students might be interested in learning more about the science of snowflakes, crystals, and frost. |
