My favorite thing to do? Watch out the window while it snows. I‘m pretty much an indoors lady.
As a former children‘s bookseller, I sold so many of these every winter. I so love this book.
I‘m grateful for blankets. I‘m addicted to blankets and throws. And, since I‘m always cold, I almost always have one on my lap.

pickMany families turned to the solace of time spent in nature during the pandemic. Whether or not this activity was actually possible for readers of this endearing picture book, its portrayal of a quiet nighttime adventure is very inviting. There‘s also a natural propulsion: an unknown but important destination. A perfect laptime book: enjoy slowly studying the detailed pencil illustrations with various nocturnal creatures. #kidlit #Translation
The art in this picture book is understated, yet magical. Which is a feat, considering that the whole of the action takes place in the dark, and the story remains realistic, not drawing on any fantasy elements.
The language in this picture book evokes the senses—hearing and smell in particular:
“We threaded through the whispering forest. The earth was damp, the bark smelled comforting. Dead branches snapped under our feet, and ferns swayed quietly as we passed.”
A fun Berenstain Bears early reader, featuring prepositions and a nighttime foray to Spook's Hill. I didn't encounter this one a child, but if I had, I would have loved its tale of sneaking out at night!
pickA soothing and patterned poem for bedtime, comforting and lovely. Intricate art that evokes safety and home.
