Winter – Follow the children in this book as they discover and explore the unique character of winter, through indoor and outdoor play.

 

Snow – No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it.

Follow the Trail: Winter Wonderland – As they follow the trails, whether straight, wavy, or loopy, toddlers will lead a polar bear, an arctic fox, a reindeer, and a penguin back to their homes.

 

The Little Snowplow – On the Mighty Mountain Road Crew, the trucks come in one size: BIG. That is, until the little snowplow joins the crew. None of the other trucks think that the little snowplow can handle the big storms, but he knows that he can do it—and just to be sure, he trains hard, pushing loads of gravel, pulling blocks of concrete, and doing plow lifts to get ready.
