How to describe and define winter to our youngest readers is done in simple text and lots of photographs by author Shelley Rotner. With text that supports photos of children in boots, jackets, scarves, and hats that show children enjoying sledding, skiing, building forts, drinking hot chocolate and looking forward to the holidays. This selection is a bit different from the “text book” books on the seasons in that it shows the reader other children like themselves . Whether winter is your favorite season or not- this book makes winter fun. Use this with other picture books about winter: First Snow by Mark Bomi, Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, First Day of Winter by Denise Fleming, Snowmen at Night by Mark Buehner to name a few. Discussions with your youngest readers on what is their favorite part of winter  can lead into what they do in winter, what animals are seen in winter and what if winter isn’t their favorite season. This is a solid addition to any collection.
