Author for title?
Liz Broadwell
_Snow_. It faded into the ether at some point, but I'd like to go hunt
for a copy. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the author's name, although
I do remember the first line -- "Snow! Snow! Just look at the snow!" --
and a line that became notorious in my family, for obvious reasons: "Do
you like it in your face? Yes! I like it any place!" Ring any bells?
adTHANKSvance,
Liz

I'm afraid not, but since you remember the title, have you tried searching
addall.com, etc. to see if any of the listings ring a bell?
I checked our catalogue, but there are 1300 books beginning with "Snow" so
I decided to pass ;-).

Yes, but ...

I ran into a similar problem. :-) So I was hoping that someone here
might still have a copy on his/her shelf, or just know that it was by
so-and-so. (After all, this was the group that turned up a title for me
based on a half-remembered plot incident and a faded olive cover.)
Still hopeful,

In which case you'd do better to mention it in the subject line of your
post, so more folks notice it. Good luck!

Google Is Your Friend.
I plugged "Do you like it in your face" in, and it pulled up a book listed
on Amazon.com. My interface is a bit funky, but it looks like it's by P.
D. Eastman and Roy McKie, and that it's still available.

Although (assuming early-reader status) it certainly *sounds* like Theo LeSieg...
...Also for obvious reasons. ; )

Hi Liz,
I searched WorldCat (library catalog) and found 3 likely
possibilities. I'd put my money on the first one since it was
published by Beginner Books and the author worked with Dr. Seuss on
other books.
Snow, by Roy McKié & P. D. Eastman (author of "Are You My Mother?"),
published 1962, 61 pp., "Two children enjoy sledding, making tracks,
building a snowman, and other activities in the snow." I also found
this description of the cover: Has a blue pictorial cover with two
children and a dog riding a toboggan down a hill.
The Snow, by John Burningham, copyright 1974, 20 pp., "A boy and his
mother share snowy day activities."
Snow, by Arthur Irving Gates, published 1951, 32 pp., Macmillan
Readers series.
Hope this helps.
Cathy

Whoa. That was brilliant -- I had done some title searching, but it
never occurred to me to plug in that line. Muchas gracias.
Peace,
Sandra
And the title is, "Snow." The copy I have, says it was published in 1962.

thought I'd read them all, between my childhood and my son's!

Thanks to everyone who responded that it's McKie and Eastman. I knew I
could count on y'all. :-)

There's a good laugh for the start of the day :-). I didn't even
think to hesitate, and that's after the fiasco when I tried to find
"Swedish Blonde" furniture.
Actually, this was the first result of two displayed, both of them quite
innocuous. A missed porn opportunity?

Fantastic!
Even better than when my poor wife decided to find out more about black
holes.
