If winter isn’t for you, here are a few fun winter-themed books to make the snow and cold a tiny bit more enjoyable.
The Mitten by Jan Brett: A boy loses a mitten in the snow and animal friends come to help.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats: This Caldecott book is not only perfect for its storyline but the artwork as well.
Wolf In The Snow by Matthew Cordell: A book with no words telling a story of humans and wolves helping one another through the wintery cold snow.
