In his dream he imagines a snowstorm covering him and his animals—named One, Two, Three, Four and Five—in a snowy blanket. But when the farmer awakens, he finds that it has really snowed outside, and now he remembers something! Putting on his red suit, he goes outside and places gifts under the tree for his animals, bringing holiday cheer to all.
Clever lift-the-flaps reveal the animals hidden under the snow in the farmer's dream, making this board book edition a treat for all ages.

A.I. GENERATED REVIEW
In this gentle seasonal picture book, a farmer imagines a snowy transformation while thinking about his animals and the approaching holiday. Carle’s collage style gives the pages warmth, texture, and a pleasing contrast between earthy farm colors and winter white. The story suits preschool and early-primary children, particularly for quiet bedtime or winter read-alouds, and touches on care, anticipation, and generosity. Transparent overlays and visual changes add interactive appeal. A mild limitation is that the holiday framing may make it feel more specialized for winter reading than some of Carle’s more universal books.
