Winter Is Here!

the long version

**goodreads member Jana:** With simple, rhyming text and brightly colored, welcoming illustrations, this sweet picture book captures all of the fun of a cold, winter day. This would be a good one to have as part of a winter collection on a primary grade bookshelf. From getting bundled up, catching snowflakes on your tongue, making snowballs, ice skating, and coming back inside to enjoy some hot chocolate, young readers will delight in all of it. This could also be a good way to inspire young writers to tell about their own favorite wintertime activities. **goodreads member Amanda:** I chose to read this book because I wanted to see if this book would be worthwhile to read to young children. Although it was not one of my favorites, it would still be good to read to preschool age children when going over a lesson on seasons, this book, of course, being a lesson over winter. Preschool age being anywhere from two to five years old. It is also a good book for new readers to begin reading with its simple language and the shortness of the book.
