There's something magical about curling up with a good book when the world outside is white and frozen. Growing up my parents house had a cozy window seat and I loved to sit there wrapped in a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate and read the day away while snowflakes fell outside. We don't get quite that same experience here, but this weekend while the rest of the country got snowed in, it was down in the 40s, which is chilly by Florida standards! It was the perfect time to brew some warm coffee, throw on our softest sweatpants, and curl up in the rocking chair with my favorite little guy. We've put away our Christmas stories but haven't quite pulled out our Valentine's books - January is the perfect in-between time for winter books. These ones are some of my favorites - compelling and sometimes funny story lines, strong characters and beautiful illustrations, they're the ones I return to again and again in the classroom. And now that I've got a little guy at home I get to see the adventure through his eyes, which is really like rediscovering them for the first time!
Stay warm friends! XO
These sound like some books my little guy would love!
