Winter books are the
best! We have been reading up a "snowstorm" of frosty books lately.
After enjoying Jan Brett's book, The Mitten, we wrote riddles about other animals that might like to be
in a mitten this cold winter. All of these animals can be found in our own
neighborhood of Spring Lake, NJ. Our town has a lovely lake and it's also right on
the beach. So don't be surprised to find some ocean critters included!
Another
winter book we liked was The Mitten Tree by Candace Christiansen. We
borrowed her tree idea and hung our animal mittens on a tree by our classroom.
