Welcome, Winter!

We are excited to start a new season! One of our favorite winter activities is snuggling with a big pile of books and something warm to drink. Here are some of our favorite wintry snuggle books:

 These Little House readers are a great way to introduce children to the world of Laura Ingalls.
Simple living, family togetherness, and the beauty of home shine from these books.
 This book is short and sweet with beautiful illustrations of life.
 I think just about everyone owns a copy of this book. It always makes me think of early winter nights with a fire burning and the old lady knitting in the background.
 Cynthia Rylant is one of our favorite authors. Her stories about an old man named Mr. Putter and his cat Tabby always make us giggle.
 Speaking of giggling to Cynthia Rylant books, Poppleton has been known to make me laugh out loud! We are always scooping Poppleton stories up from the library.
 Oh, how I love this book. It reads almost like poetry and has gorgeous illustrations.
Books like this make me look forward to the dark days of winter ahead.
 One of my favorite children's books of all time! Winter is the Warmest Season is not only cozy but makes your kiddies look at the world with different eyes.
Each page of this book has only 1-3 words, but it perfectly captures a snowy winter day. 
This one is great for a tiny little reader with a short attention span. I also love the rustic drawings of Douglas Florian.

Now go get yourself some books and warm drink and enjoy the start of this new season!
