Nothing is more frustrating for children than putting on--and taking off--layer after layer of winter clothing. Nothing is more fun for preschoolers and those just learning to read than enjoying that dreaded experience through a spirited, cumulative rhyme, embellished and extended with rebuses. Full color.

Rhyme follows rhyme as layer after layer of winter clothing ("bunchy and hot, wrinkled a lot, stiff in the knee, and too big for me ") is first put on and then taken off to the relief of the child bundled inside. Clever rebuses and jaunty illustrations make The Jacket I Wear in the Snow especially fun for prereaders and new readers.
