Winter Reading List: 2009

Books, books and more books. We are book obsessed over here. We own more than our fair share and cull our local libraries very often. I also take advantage of interlibrary loan like there is no tomorrow!

• Winter by Muller
• Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Frost
• The Story of the Snow Children by Von Olfers
• When It Starts to Snow (An Owlet Book) by Gershator and Matje
• Stranger in the Woods by Sams and Stoick
• First Snow in the Woods by Sams and Stoick
• Snow by Shulevitz
• The Snowy Day by Keats
• Ollie's Ski Trip by Beskow
• When Winter Comes by Van Laan

Happy Reading!
