Books for the Season

17 December 2009 Filed In: all the rest, Chanukah, Christmas, corner view



Books. Books. And more books in our house. We have a nice selection for each season and keep the seasonal books out for the children to grab and explore and ask us to read. Some of our Winter books were not available when I was taking these pictures because they were “occupied”.

Some favorites for Winter, for Christmas, and Chanukah?
*Too Many Tamales by Gary Soto
*Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden
*Animals in Winter by Henrietta Bancroft
*The Nutcracker Ballet by Vladimir Vagin
*The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats (pictured)
*I’ll Be Home for Christmas by Holly Hobbie (Toot and Puddle)
*A Day on Skates by Hilda van Stockum
*Latkes, Latkes, Good to Eat by Naomi Howland
*Snow by Uri Shulevitz
What about you? What are you reading this time of year? I’ve been downloading some of these to my Kindle. Huge thank you to Alexander Chee for hooking me up with that list.
