Adding the latest Good Dog Carl book - Carl's Snowy Afternoon - very reminiscent of the first one and the fun adventure the dog and toddler have together without the parents knowledge, but this time on a snowy afternoon. Lots of great snow fun and scenes.
Good for all you snowbound, Easterners.

Some mentioned in a different snow thread that is linked - but this will keep the titles here.
I LOVE One Snowy Night!

I just love Berta and Elmer Hader's The Big Snow! We just read it (again) this afternoon!
There may be some duplicates that have already been mentioned here, but mater et magistra's free fall issue has a number of wonderful winter books with reviews!

I just discovered a new gem for our winter collection.
It's called Snow Moon and it is a lovely, lovely book. The illustrations are beautiful... the story is very simple but poetic... and if read in a slow, solemn way... magical indeed.
Highly recommended.

We're still discovering winter and snow books. We had a real belly laugh at this book:
Waiting for Winter by Sebastian Meschenmoser.
Just charming! Squirrel has never seen snow, so tries to stay awake. Hedgehog wakes up, tries to stay away, then wakes up Bear. All three start looking for the white, cold, wet, and soft snow. The things they "think" are snow are just hilarious...and don't miss the last picture at the end of the book.

I am having fun entering picture books into my lists on my library catalog for the upcoming year, and I happened to remember a book we loved a while back with snow, Henry the Explorer
At the time, I was so disappointed that it was out of print and very expensive to buy used, but I just checked, and lo and behold, the 45th anniversary edition was released last month! Very, very delightful. Apparently, Henry the Castaway was released as well, which we have not read, but I think I'll be grabbing these for Christmas!

Have discovered that the publisher of this reprint is a company working to reprint OOP classics. Very cool- some fun favorites there.
Purple House Press
Quote:
Our mission is to revive long lost, but well loved children's books. Today's children deserve to read wholesome stories from a simpler time and we know grownups want to revisit with old childhood friends too!
Jill started Purple House Press in the year 2000, previously she had specialized in finding sought after, but hard to find used children's books. When prices of her favorite childhood book, Mr. Pine's Purple House, rose to the discouraging price of $300, she decided to do something about it by republishing the book to ensure its message would not be lost to future generations. |

AWESOME! I had totally forgotten about them, but I remember really enjoying those Mr. Pine books! Especially Mr. Pine's Mixed Up Signs.
What a treasure! Ah, nostalgia.

We just found a winter science book that the kids loved callled The Story of Snow. The books described the science behind snow crystals and had beautiful photographs of snow crystals in all different shapes.
It's a new favorite.
