Children’s Books for Gift-giving

Warm your youngest listeners with a winter-themed story time selection.

PICTURE BOOKS AGES 5 THRU 8

“I chase and zigzag/ here/ and/ there,/ catching snowflakes in the air./ They land on my face and on my hair./ I stick out my tongue/ and catch one./ Yum!” The arrival of snow transforms the world into a rollicking playground. The cut paper artwork is as crisp and beautifully stark as the season it depicts.

‘Winter is black/ spilling night into day./ We watch northern lights/ start to flicker and sway.” A poetic tribute to all those snowy activities children eagerly await: skating on frozen ponds, tossing snowballs, and melting tiny flakes with a burst of warm breath.

NONFICTION: AGES 10 THRU 12

In Idaho, “Trout fishing is against the law if you are sitting on a giraffe’s back.” Discover some outlandish laws dating back to the 1800’s and early 1900’s. Each wacky law is accompanied by exaggerated cartoon illustrations.#

Selene S. Vasquez is a media specialist at Orange Brook Elementary School in Hollywood, Florida. She is formerly a children’s librarian for the New York Public Library.
