Reviews

The story encourages parents and grandparents and their children and grandchildren to giggle and play as they cozy up for their own celebration of the winter season. Imagine who might stomp, sled, and swish through the snow to give warm hug in these whimsical rhymes and sweet, playful illustrations. Adults will enjoy reading this book almost as much as little ones will enjoy hearing it. Practicing their reading skills will be fun using this book. * Midwest Book Review *
Great for the preschool crowd, this book is a joyful celebration of childhood imagination paired with loving family fun. The animal hugs offer an opportunity to add gross motor play to a winter story time with learners reenacting the seal stands, bunny hops, and cardinal flight of the protagonist's vivid imagination. * Pennsylvania School Librarians Association *
