I own three of the books that you shared on this post. My students and I always enjoyed making ice crystals after reading the book Snowflake Bentley. Perhaps you can pretend that the beautiful, white sandy beaches along the Gulf of Mexico are covered with a white blanket of snow.Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-77844632074921527192014-12-13T14:06:02.099-05:002014-12-13T14:06:02.099-05:00Even MORE snowy titles:
ROBERTS SNOW & ROBERT...Even MORE snowy titles:<br /><br />ROBERTS SNOW & ROBERT's SNOWFLAKES - Because I gave these 2 precious books by artist/author Grace Lin away years ago, they inadvertently slipped my mind. ROBERT is a mouse who is shut inside his family's old boot, outdoors, for the winter. But then something magical happens. Grace wrote it to celebrate her husband's treatment for illness, when they couldn't play in the snow. After her dear husband passed, she created the Dana Farber Cancer Center picture book, now a collectible, ROBERT'S SNOWFLAKES, with individual snowflakes draw by a snowfall of talented children's book artists. Each of these are huggably sweet books.<br /><br />Also, no list of snow stories is complete without the determined BRAVE IRENE by William Steig, which I should have somewhere but it isn't in with my Christmas books so it temporarily slipped my ind. Irene loves her seamstress Mother, who is sick, so much, that when an important handmade party gown must be delivered to the Duchess, BRAVE IRENE trudges through the winter and a snowstorm to help out.

We had our customers cut paper snowflakes when they came in to shop and we dangled them around great snow books like these. I haven't read The Snowflake Sisters yet -- one more to add to my list! Two other great ones are SNOWSONG WHISTLING by Karen Elisa Lotz and Elisa Kleven and ALL YOU NEED FOR A SNOWMAN by Alice Schertle (my favorite poet) and Barbara Lavallee.Patricia Tohthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878871084215411303noreply@blogger.com
