A book about winter that felt original despite the abundance of books about winter. The illustrations are not usually my style, but I really love how they're done, and the colours are gorgeous!
On page one, two kids tell us "Winter is coming and I can't wait!" and then they share all the things they love to do in winter. They shovel snow off roofs, watch the Northern Lights, look for moose and owls at night, and sled down the snowy hills!
When spring finally comes and the sun melts the snow, the kids say "Summer is coming and I can't wait!" I really liked that part of the book, because it encourages a love for life in general, no matter the season or the weather!

A nice story about winter by Alaskan author Ann Dixon. What can you do in winter? Build snowmen, go sledding, watch what animals do and more.
Nice and colorful illustrations help to tell the story.

cute story about the changes during winter and the anticipation to the next season. My son (age 2 1/2) really enjoyed this story and the pictures.

This book is told in rhyme. The layout has it, so that one page has four lines in rhyme. On the adjacent page is a line that does not fit very well with the previous four lines. This bugged me.

Fun illustrations gave us lots to talk about. The text was average.
