What We're Reading: Brenda













Little Snow Goose by Emily Hawkins and The Magical Snowman by Catherine Walters

Both of these picture books have wonderful illustrations and tell charming stories of friendship.

Little Snow Goose is beautifully embossed and children will enjoy touching the raised pictures. It is the story of Little Fox and Little Snow Goose who become the most unlikely of friends. Little Fox finds a goose egg and after it hatches takes on the responsibility of helping Little Snow Goose learn to fly and find her mother.

The Magical Snowman is the story of Little Rabbit who spends all morning building the perfect snowman friend. Little Rabbit believes he is real but Daddy says, "He's just a snowman." After Daddy Rabbit asks him to go pick berries for tea Little Rabbit gets lost in the woods. His snowman friend appears to guide him home. The snowman's body is glittery and raised and lots of fun for little ones to touch.

Readers both young and old will enjoy reading these simple but captivating stories and touching the wonderful illustrations.
