WOW!! Snowff's Adventures is an exciting,
captivating, series of books for introducing
elementary students to science. Carolyn, the
author, has mastered the means of weaving
concepts of science into a STORY which holds the
attention of students. Dr. John McConnell,
Ph.D.Previous President of Colorado Association
of Science Teachers (CAST)

I was delighted to read the Adventures of
Snowff's MIST.erious Journey. This is the perfect
combination of LITERACY and SCIENCE. This book's
large illustrations make this a perfect 'read and
show' book for your students. The CD's help to
make this information 'come alive' for all
learning styles. This will be a book that will
become a part of your lesson each year. Dr. Walt
WoolbaughNSTA Regional XV RepresentativeTeacher

Carolyn, after hearing comments from our
teachers who have used SNOWFF with their classes,
I can honestly say we are looking forward to the
entire series! One thing we especially like is
the accuracy of the illustrations. What an
exciting way to introduce concepts in science!
Please let us know when the rest of the books are
available! Mrs. Janey KaufmannNSTA District XIV
Director
21
I wanted to let you know I received the books in
plenty of time and gave them to 20 excited
teachers. They loved it as much as I did when I
first read it. Are any of the other books in this
series available yet? Mrs. Patricia
BobbittPowdersville Elementary School

Snowff was a GREAT HIT with members of the
(CAST) board. I would like to feature Snowff at
a workshop for pre-service teacher candidates at
UNC this spring. Where can I purchase a
copy...? Mrs. Meg JacobsonBoard Member of
Colorado Association of Science Teachers
23
The workshop was a great success! Teachers are
excited about teaching when they have good
materials. In Snowff, they found a GEM! Mrs.
Meg JacobsonMember of Colorado Association of
Science Teachers

My son, Jack, is now a huge Snowff fan...
singing one of the songs while going to bed.
Thats a real fan! We watched the DVD and loved
it. Carolyn, you have done such a wonderful job
with Snowff, that not only is Snowff a stunning
success here at home, but he'll be a BIG HIT with
teachers! Steve SpanglerThe Science Guy

  • Imagine 23 first and second grade students
    sitting before their teacher completely
    entranced, as if spellbound, listening to a book
    about the water cycle.
  • Imagine their shining eyes taking in the colorful
    illustrations of the book before them.
  • Also, imagine the delight of their teacher as her
    students excitedly point out vocabulary and
    concepts being studied in their unit about the
    water cycle. Finally, imagine the power of a book
    that has kids pleading, Read it one more time,
    please!

  • Carolyn White has successfully created a book,
    Snowffs MIST.erious Journey, that begs to be
    read again and again. She has put into my hands a
    useful tool to teach the process of the water
    cycle. THANK YOU, Carolyn, for such an engaging
    book that supports SCIENCE and LITERACY!

AMAZING SERIES! Great learning tools for
students in the lower grades....I only wish these
stories had been available when my own children
were younger. Dr. Wayne Slattery, Ph.D. Ph.D.

I never dreamed this book would stretch my kids'
minds as it has. It has not only encouraged
science concepts but artistic and reading as
well. Never have I had an activity energize my
kids while encouraging cooperation as this book
has. Thanks, Carolyn, for writing such a
wonderful book and bringing science ALIVE in our
classroom. Natalie Prosenick Classroom teacher

In Snowff books, a footprint has been created
into which children can step.  From these
adventures, they can walk on  into science
without fear, but rather seeking adventure while
learning.  SNOWFF, who like a peer, helps
children identify with him and feel that they
too, are a genuine part of the experience. The
