Christmas is over, the cold is finally kicking in, we are starting to see actual frost (and even the occasional snowflake or overnight icing!) and so it's time for the traditional Post-Christmas Snowy Storybook Extravaganza.
These books were selected by my coworker.
Slither, Slide, What's Outside?
Nora Hilb, illustrated by Simon and Sheryl Shapiro
ISBN: 9781554513871
An odd book, but a charmer. This is a four-seasons book, nonfiction, with both nature photographs (everything from worms to stars) and fun playful illustrations. The narrative is in rhyming quatrains, creating little mini-verses on each page with instructions that could be used for a movement section if the leader/reader wanted to go that route. Cute and different.
Mimi and Bear in the Snow
Janee Trasler
ISBN: 9780374349714
I've used this cutie before myself. Mimi is a sweet little bunny and she and her bear play (and get lost) in the snow. Short and sweet and charming.
100 Snowmen
Jen Arena, illustrated by Stephen Gilpin
ISBN: 9781477847039
A most peculiar counting book. Snowmen cavort and play and make really bizarre facial expressions (some of them nearly terrifying) as the narrative counts up to 100 snowmen total throughout the whole book. Weird and wild.
