 Winter picture books really bring out the magic and beauty of the snowy season with the beautiful illustrations and cozy text.

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 cozy winter feeling of this book will have readers wanting it to snow so they can play outside and fall asleep to the sound of softly falling snow. A perfect book to read when getting ready for a cozy winter's nap.

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. 


Snow Is....

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: Alice with a Why

By
Alice with a Why By Anna James New York: Penguin, 2026. Fiction. 240 pgs. In 1919, in the aftermath of the first World War, Alyce is living with her grandmother in the English countryside. Her grandmother, also named Alice, tells Alyce (with a y) stories from her childhood adventures in a wonderful land filled with white rabbits and mad hatters. Alyce doesn't really believe the silly stories, she just misses her father who was killed in the war. One day, Alyce receives a mysterious invitation to tea, and subsequently falls into a pond where she is transported to Wonderland. Her grandmother, of course, is that Alice. Alyce is prompted by the Mad Hatter, Dormouse, and March Hare to seek out the Time Being and put an end to the war between the Sun King and the Queen of the Moon. Thus begins Alyce's adventure through Wonderland. I have a certain soft spot for the original story of Alice in Wonderland. It is one of my particular favorites and I often have a hard time reading new int...

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger! The Factory is a page-turning sci-fi with multidimensional characters, an intriguing plot, and refreshingly straight-forward writing. Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...

Review: Faker

By
Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam. Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into. The only problem is that Trey is starting to grow tired of moving around and never putting down roots, especially after forming a fast friendship with Logan and developing a crush on Kaylee, a socially conscious girl in his class. As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...
