I am still thinking snow/cold theme. Pulling out an old favorite here. The thread on remembering picture books made me think of this one. It was a favorite of my almost 20 year old ds. So it has very sweet memories for me of when he was little. Reminds me some of The Mitten - lots of animals trying to find shelter from the cold and fit into something - in this case the bed of Park Keeper Percy. If you are not familiar with the Percy books you are in for a treat. Lovely series by Nick Butterworth published in England.

Mary, this is definitely a winner with my 2 yod. She reiterates the rabbits' lines: "We're f-f-f-frozen!" She looks for all the animals. She says, "Awww!" when she sees the page on which the fox has snow on his head. And she also paraphrases a mouse's line when she says, "Here comes a monster!" She narrates the whole thing and brings it at least daily for me to read to her.

Just thought you'd like to know!
