It has been unusually cold this winter (for Texas anyway), but it's a great time to get cozy and read a few good books with your Little Bears. Here are some of our favorite winter children's books.
There Was A Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow!: There was a cold lady who swallowed some snow. I don't know why she swallowed some snow. Perhaps you know. This time, the old lady is swallowing everything from snow to a pipe, some coal, a hat, and more! With rollicking, rhyming text and funny illustrations, this lively version will appeal to young readers. And this time, there is a surprise at the end no reader will be able to guess!
The Snowy Day: The adventures of a little boy in the city on a very snowy day.
Olivia Builds A Snowlady: Who says a snowman can't be a lady? Olivia and her classmates are in charge of building the best snowman for the town's Winter Festival and they decide to make this year's snowman a snowlady. When an unexpectedly warm, sunny day dawns the morning of the festival, the snowlady turns into a slushlady, it's up to Olivia to come up with a unique solution and save the day!
Snow! Snow! Snow!: One night the wind howled, and the snow fell and fell and fell and fell...
Winter: An Alphabet Acrostic: Sleds sailing downhill on newly fallen snow, animals nestled deep in underground burrows, and families gathered hearthside to share the joys of the season are among the alphabet of cold-weather delights celebrated in 26 acrostic poems, alphabetically arranged. The colors and textures of winter—the cool blue of icy ponds and the golden glow of holiday candles—are gloriously captured in linoleum-cut illustrations. A companion volume to Autumn, Spring, and Summer, Winter rounds out the year of seasonal collaborations by Steven Schnur and Leslie Evans.
Snow: Cynthia Rylant’s lyrical descriptions of the sights and feelings evoked by falling snow blend gorgeously with the rich and beautiful world created by Lauren Stringer’s illustrations, in which a young girl, her friend, and her grandmother enjoy the many things a snowy day has to offer.
Red Sled: In this almost wordless picture book, a host of woodland creatures take a child's sled for a nighttime joy ride. Their whimsical ride is gorgeously depicted in bold watercolor, complemented by humorous expressions and pitch-perfect sound effects. With a timeless tone and classic characters, RED SLED will become a wintertime favorite.
Big Snow: "An excited and frustrated boy watches hopefully as wintry weather develops slowly into a 'big snow.'"--
The Story of Snow: The Science of Winter's Wonder: How do snow crystals form? What shapes can they take? Are no two snow crystals alike? These questions and more are answered in this visually stunning exploration of the science of snow. Perfect for reading on winter days, the book features photos of real snow crystals in their beautiful diversity. Snowflake-catching instructions are also included.
Snow Sounds: Spare poetry and elegant watercolor paintings cleverly bring to life this unique story of snow removal and the fun onomatopoeic sounds accompanying it.
I know the title suggests this post will be about snow themed books but I recently discovered that Amazon Prime and Netflix offers several options by way of children's shows. I understand that some parents prefer not to include screen time in their curriculum, and that's okay, but I am presenting this option to the parents that don't mind or would like to include it.
