What a cute read! The season winter has arrived and the family of penguins are very excited to get out of their igloo and into the snow to play! They get ready with boots and gloves and socks and scarves and head outside! After a long, cold day in the snow, they head back in, get on jammies, get their sippy cups, and go to sleep! It's a long season of fun ahead of them! I love this because the penguins are like kids in my opinion. Little ones love the wonder that comes with changing seasons and they long for the adventures they can have in the great outdoors! I remember being much like this when I was a child. ( )

Winter is here: Five penguins don winter attire and go out to play, then come in for hot cocoa and warmth. Christian Robinson illustrates. ( )

Snowflakes are falling, and winter is coming. Five little penguins prepare for winter fun by finding their mittens, boots, and scarves before venturing out into the snow. After playing in the cold, warm cookies await before snuggling into bed. Hurrah! Winter is here.

The Bottom Line: The use of large type and simple words that repeat make this a winner for beginning readers. Soft illustrations convey the story well, and the use of a limited color palette will keep little ones focused on the story. Recommended for storytime or bedtime reading for kids in preschool.
