No Two Snowflakes

No Two Snowflakes 

by Sheree Fitch
illustrated by Janet Wilson

Follow along as a young boy tries to describe snow to his penpal in Africa. This is an ideal book to use if you are working on a lesson on senses. It is very descriptive, so much so, that you can almost taste the snow in your mouth and feel the coldness of it in your hands!

The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day 

by Ezra Jack Keats

My kids LOVE this story! It is about a little boy named Peter who wakes up to a winter wonderland. You get to follow him through his day as he explores and plays in the snow. After a long day in the snow, Peter comes home with the snowball that he saved in his pocket. Feeling sad that his snowball melted, Peter dreamed that the sun melted all the snow away. Much to his relief, he woke up to another winter wonderland of fresh, new snow.

The First Day of Winter

The First Day of Winter

by Denise Fleming

This book is about a boy and the first ten days of winter. Each day brings a special gift that he uses to make the best snowman ever! My kids loved reading this book because it was set to the tune of the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." We sang the book all the way through...twice!
