Book of the Month: A Loud Winter's Nap

I was looking for a picture book that would get me more excited for winter and came across A Loud Winter's Nap by Katy Hudson.

Summary: Unmoved by his friends' attempts to draw him out with singing classes and snowball fights, Tortoise tries to settle down for his annual winter nap and instead stumbles into a wonderfully icy experience.

Age Range: 3-5 years

"Tortoise had just snuggled in for his long winter nap when..."

This is another great book from the bestselling author of Too Many Carrots. I like how this book can be used for kids to read about winter, animals, and sleeping. 

Tortoise is the grump in his group of friends for not wanting to enjoy and play during the winter. But he quickly realizes just what he's missing out on. 

I had to chuckle because he just can't get any sleep, and most of us grownups can relate to that. The way tortoise finds out just how fun winter can be is a funny and cute tie-in to the story. This is a wonderful picture book read for the winter!
