It’s mid-January and we are experiencing the full force of winter weather. Take a break from the cold and ice, make some hot chocolate and curl up with some great books about winter fun. Once you’ve been inspired by reading about winter adventures, you’ll be ready to head back outside for some real life fun of your own.

What happens when you build a snowman? Does it get a name? Does it get tired of standing? Does it eat? Does it sleep standing up? There are so many things we do not know about snowmen! Fortunately, the husband and wife team of Caralyn Buehner and Mark Buehner have wondered about snowmen and set out to find some answers. The result was the delightful book Snowmen at Night. Also in this series are Snowmen at Christmas, Snowmen all Year and Snowmen at Work. Each story is cleverly written and beautifully illustrated.
