Summary: Wonderful for all ages!
Comment: I fell in love with Wild Child when reading this to my children... so as soon as I saw Winter Waits, we immediately snapped it up, and was not dissapointed. Lynn Plourde's wonderful wordplay tickles the ears when read aloud, and Greg Couch's beautiful illustrations have many subtle layers to explore and talk over with children. This book is geared mostly towards the beginning reader set: However, being a prospective teacher, I can fully see myself reading Winter Waits and the companion books to a third grade level, for fun a well as to teach them about freestyle poetry, and how words can be used for description (perhaps sparking a budding writer?). I cannot recommend this book enough!

Summary: Wonderful art work, wonderful words
Comment: I first discovered Lynn Plourde and Greg Couch's book Wild Child serveral years ago and loved reading it to my multi-age primary classroom students. The children also created delightful portraits of "Wild Child". I loved the way Wild Child suggested that a sibling would be coming along and, sure enough, here comes Winter! Winter Waits is equally beautiful and depicts a tender father/child relationship not unlike the Mother/child relationship in Wild Child. My students remember these books and look forward to reading them every year. We can't wait for Spring's arrival!

Summary: An imaginative family story
Comment: "Winter Waits" is an enjoyable children's story. Lynn Plourde's easy-to-read rhyming text is nicely complemented by Greg Couch's excellent illustrations.
In this story, Winter is the playful child of Mother Earth and Father Time. The plot is simple: Winter waits for his father to finish work so that they can spend some time together. Winter amuses himself in the meantime by turning the world into a wintry playground. Sample text: "So Winter waits / for an hour or two, / painting the grass / with a frosty hue."
Couch's colorful illustrations have a playfully surreal quality to them. Overall, this is a fun book that celebrates both family ties and the virtue of patience.
