Here's a look at some of the recent titles that have rotated into our class library for these chilly winter days...

Sugar Snow by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The delightful tale of Laura and Mary eating sugar snow cakes in the big woods after pa's long day making maple syrup.

Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. The true story of William Bentley who photographed snowflakes, thus contributing to the scientific community's knowledge on these beautiful winter crystals. The book has charming woodcut illustrations that correspond with the story by illustrator Mary Azarian. 

The Little Polar Bear by Hans de Beer. A simply sweet story of a polar bear cub who finds himself on an iceberg, floating away from his father after hunting one day--and the adventures that follow.

Trouble with Trolls by Jan Brett. A small girl journey's up a snowy mountain, but trolls keep thwarting her as they attempt to kidnap her beloved dog.

Do Like Kyla by Angela Johnson. Join Kyla as she follows her older sister around on a snowy day filled with many sister memory making moments.

Brave Irene by William Steig. Sent on a mission from her dressmaking mother, little, but brave, Irene weathers a snowstorm to deliver a package to the duchess.

Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. This certainly has been one loved book by my students and as soon as I put it out, it's checked out and gone into the hands of a student. Not only is it a fun tale of snowmen playing at night while the world sleeps, but part of the fun is spotting the pickle-nosed snowman on each page if you can!
