The animals in Acorn Village are all busy doing cozy activities together. They like spending time playing outside in the snow, doing art projects, baking yummy treats, and reading cozy stories together by the fire.

The coldest months of the year can also be the most magical as you skate on the ice, go sledding, build snowmen and drink hot chocolate. You can read about all of the different winter activities through rhyming text and watercolor illustrations. Experience the magic of winter as you read in the cozy warmth of your home.

Alice see's a white rabbit and follows him down an Alaskan glacier and into a rabbit hole. There she discovers a world of topsy-turvy fun and silliness as characters like the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of hearts come to life in this retelling of the classic tale by Lewis Carroll. 

The story is set in Alaska with winter animals and fun additional information about the history of Alaska along with Jan Brett's stunning illustrations.

It's the first snowfall of the season and the white snow is magically sparkling in the sun. It's a snow day and a young child is anxious to go outside to play in the snow, build a snowman, and have a snowball fight. Then after a fun day in the snow it's time to snuggle down in front of the fire with a blanket, some cookies, and hot chocolate. 

This is a perfect book to read to help kick off the winter season.

Review: The Mixed-Up Owl

The Mixed-Up Owl  Written by Marzena Sowa Illustrated by Joanna Lorno New York : Hippo Park, 2025. Picture Book. When Owl can't sleep at night, he heads off to see if any forest animals can help him understand why, and even more so, how to fix it!  Unfortunately, all the animals Owl runs into at night are asleep and all the animals he meets during the day are too rude or too busy to answer him.  Will Owl give up or will a chance meeting with a grumpy hedgehog provide all the solutions Owl was looking for? The premise of an owl trying to stay awake during the day because all the other animals around him do is very fun. Kids who know that owls are nocturnal will get a kick out of Owl's confusion and be quick to try to tell him what's going on.  Readers who don't know many facts about owls (or nocturnal animals in general) will get a brief introduction to the different ways animals sleep. The illustrations are charming, especially cute Owl and his expressive body langua...
