And there?
Frosty hair.
What then?
Snowmen."
November has been a bit of a weird start to winter for us: lots of snow, and freezing temperatures have made it feel a bit January. It has certainly got people in the mood for Christmas buying, and thinking about the gifts they will give. It reminds me that I have a bunch of books about snow and winter I want to share.
I will begin with Richard Jackson. This long time editor of books for children has recently turned to writing for them as well. In this newest book, he uses spare text as a invitation to little ones to find joy in the snowy scenes that unfold. As he teaches his readers about snow and its many wonders, Ms. Seeger uses stunning acrylic artwork to help them follow the verbal clues on full page spreads. One spread meaningfully connects to the next through a series of questions and visual clues.
With each page turn, readers' attention is drawn to a more detailed panorama. The gorgeous scenes move from day to night and from winter to spring, offering an invitation to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
Engaging at every turn!
Be sure to check for Mr. Jackson's other books: Have a Look, Says Book (2016), In Plain Sight (2016), All Ears, All Eyes (2017), This Beautiful Day (2017).
