This book is characterized as a Level Two reader, which is described as "reading together, short sentences, simple dialogue".
The stories are interesting and will engage the attention of young readers who love books which are illustrated, as this book contains colorful and cute illustrations by Ann Schweninger. This particular book contains four easy-to-read stories featuring Amanda Pig and her big brother, Oliver, as they enjoy the winter season - building a snow fort, Amanda overcoming her fear of sledding, etc. I'd recommend this series to children who are beginning to develop some measure of independence in their reading and have completed the level one readers. It also makes an excellent read aloud for younger children.
