Winter Reads

Brienne sledding: when we're not winter reading we're having winter fun

We're reading a lot of winter books these days. Books of poetry, historical fiction and non-fiction, fairy tales, and just fun, goofy stuff too. Here's four of our favorites this month with a collage and link to more reads at the bottom. Grab a kid, some blankets and cuddle together for some goodreads.

Winter Eyes Such wonderful winter poetry. Makes me appreciate winter. Right here, right now.

Henry and Mudge and the Snowman Plan A fun easy reader with a sweet winter story. We love Henry and Mudge.

Winter Story Pure fantasy and fairy tale. You are going to wish you were a mouse after reading this story. We LOVE this story and have read it a couple years in a row with much pleasure.

Marven of the Great North Woods Historical non-fiction. A great story of a young Jewish boy's winter in the great woods of Northern Minnesota with a bunch of burly, pork-eating Frenchman lumberjacks.

weee! what fun! i love that action photo. i was thrown off by the hill in the background at first - it lines up so well with the movement of the snow i was wondering if it was an effect. i see now it's another hill. interesting what our eyes will do.
