Right before bed, Peter goes to get his snowball out of his jacket pocket, only to discover that it has melted. Peter quietly tucks a snowball into his pocket to bring home and keep forever.Īt home, Mama helps Peter get ready for bed while Daddy leaves to work his night shift. Tim plays with them until their fathers call them home. One of them, Tim, stops the teasing when he sees the hurt it causes Peter and Amy. Peter meets Amy, and they play in the snow until the older boys return.
Three older boys start a snowball fight, but they become frustrated at Peter’s inability to keep up-they tease Peter and leave him behind. They lovingly tease him as they draw out his bundling as long as they can before letting him go-but not without a gentle warning to be careful.Īs Peter enters the snowy world alone for the first time, he innocently wishes that the snow would last forever. Overjoyed at the infinite possibilities of his snowy adventures, he starts to bound outside when Mama and Daddy remind him that he has to eat breakfast and put on his snowsuit. Peter wakes up to the first snow of winter-the first winter where his parents have promised to let him play in the snow by himself.
