Winter Poems selected by Barbara Rogasky
A collection of cold weather poems from noted authors, including Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe.
If you are looking for a chapter book, maybe Larryboy and the Sinister Snow Day or Blizzard of the Blue Moon would be good choices. If you are a horse lover, pick up Hoofprints in the Snow, a title from the Thoroughbred series. If you would rather a movie try Snow Dogs or The Chronicles of Narnia.
Keep Warm!
