Some of my students enjoy going every winter. These books bring excitement to both, creating dreams of one day visiting, and also memories of snow trips past. These books have been great read alouds during this cold winter season, allowing students to learn more, such as learning about animals that hibernate, snowy climates, and other winter facts, but also allowing us the enjoyment of cozying up with some good books when it's just too cold (for us) to be outside.
