Winter Story (Brambly Hedge)

Product Information

Lina walks through the snow to her Grandma’s house. As she walks, she notices the sounds of snow. Her boots on the ground sound like “ snyak, snyek, snyuk.” People sweeping snow off their cars make a “ swish-wish, swish-wish.” She hears the snow with things like mittens, skis, snowballs, shovels, too. When she arrives at her Grandma’s they cook together, eat, and listen to the stillness of the snow. This story’s lovely illustrations combine with the sensory images in the text to give readers an immersive experience of this snowy day. One of my favorite winter books on this list. There were a few elements I didn’t like about this – Breena seemed a bit ‘not like other girls’. There were a few comments on other ‘popular girls’ appearances that I didn’t appreciate and weren’t necessary.

This winter book gives readers a playful twist to the familiar “Itsy Bitsy Spider” but with a snowman who climbs up the snowy hill, zips, slides, and plays in the wintery snow. The animals thought it was strange that Bear and all of Bear’s collections, too, had been gone for three years. They agreed that Bear must know what had happened to the lost heat. There was only one place Bear would be – the upper world. They must hurry to get there, for without the heat their sufferings would never end! So bearing that in mind here are our selection of Winter Books and Stories that will ignite your children’s imagination and explore the season together.

Want to save more time

This prompt is a nice and simple one. Your students could write about a tradition they like to do during wintertime or something they do with their family in winter. Looking around them, they saw the land they stood on was surrounded by water. “We must cross this water to get to land on the other side,” said Fox. Pike was first to dive into the water, then the next animal jumped in and held onto Pike. Then each one in turn with Dogfish at the end. Together they swam until they reached the land on the other side. Winter really can be long and very tough, no wonder some humans envy the animals and birds who hibernate or migrate! But, it’s a really captivating fae book. The twists are incredible and the pacing is perfect It was hugely successful – winning awards and selling over 4 million copies. I’ve always loved adding a mix of fiction and non-fiction books so that I can introduction concepts related to the weather, animals, holidays and different cultures in a age-appropriate way. An additional benefit is that the children connect with the characters in the stories and it helps to develop their emotional intelligence, as you read along together about the joy and challenges of the different seasons.
