Waiting for Winter by Sebastian Meschenmoser

Finally his grandmother tells him to ask the trees. The small rabbit spends his days pestering everyone he can, asking when winter will come. This is a beautifully illustrated book about the changes of the seasons and paying attention, seen from the viewpoint of an impatient young rabbit. Readers will enjoy their snow chant and want to join in! Fun to see how the children change the chant at the end when they are tired of snow! I would use this book to inspire kids to write their own “Snow Chant”! Only the Trees Know– Jane WhittinghamĪnother book about waiting for winter that was released this past fall.

Lively and fun rhyming text about kids who want the snow to fall so they can play in it. Great anchor book for talking or writing about favorite seasons. If Winter Comes, Tell It I’m Not Here– Simona CiraoloĪ summer-loving boy dreads the coming of winter but discovers that each season has specialness when you spend it with your family. add a deer, a hedgehog, and a bear, mix in some humor, friendship, and wintry wonderfulness, and you get this magnificent picture book. Start off with the adorable fuzziness of a squirrel waiting for his first snowflake. Waiting for Winter – Sebastian Meschenmoser Giggle worthy in some parts but also gentle themes of being patient, waiting for the right time, as well as loving and supporting your friends while they wait.

GORGEOUS illustrations! (I will be writing that comment a lot in this blog!!!) Waiting for Snow – Marsha Diane ArnoldĪdorable story time read-aloud about animals waiting for the first snowfall, some more impatiently than others. With the support of each other and help from friends along the way, Fox and Hare embark on a wonder-filled journey to find snow. GearTip – if you don’t have a hard copy of the book, check online for the YouTube read-alouds! WAITING FOR SNOW: A Thing Called Snow – Yuval Zommer Here are my top 10 (okay – 19!) favorite books (some old, some new) about SNOW! I have grouped the books into a few categories: waiting for snow, celebrating snow, animals in snow, and visualizing snow. I don’t know about where you live, but here in Kelowna, we have had snow on the ground since the end of October!!! Winter is HERE and what better way to celebrate the snow than to share a few SNOW BOOKS? There are SO many SNOW books to choose from by I have tried to narrow it down!

Happy New Year everyone! I’m a little “off” this week – Tuesday felt like Monday… yesterday felt like Tuesday… in any event I’m a bit late for this post but better late than never, I say!
