Let me just say, it's awesome that you read Snowflake Bentley! The author of that book was my next door neighbor growing up. She's a really sweet lady. She volunteered a lot at my preschool (I grew up in a SMALL town), and we would often chat when I played in my yard. We talked a lot about plants (my parents had a large organic garden in our back yard), and what the squirrels had been getting up to (my yard had an enormous black walnut tree that the squirrels flocked to, but the roof on Jackie and Richard's house had a really steep pitch so the squirrels would flock over there and use the roof as a playground).
