Fall Book Review - Counting Winter

Most publishers release new books in the Fall and Eerdman's for Young Readers sent me a few of their new titles so I can let you know about them. Today I am very happy to write about  Counting Winter by Nancy White Carlstrom and illustrated by Claudia McGehee.

Favorite Features -

• Sturdy board book so your little ones can enjoy it - and they are sure to do so!
• I love the illustrations - mostly in black and white with some splashes of color!
• This little book is a counting book and will help little ones learn to count to twelve.
• I love the variety of animals children are able to count in this book!

Eerdmans Books for Young Readers says, "Count the wonders of the tundra from 1 to 12 in this stunning celebration of an Alaskan winter.

One red fox walks on snow―stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle―talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop―tracking winter. Wherever you look, another animal is making its mark on the coldest time of year. 

Inspired by her years living in Alaska, Nancy White Carlstrom celebrates the tundra with dynamic poetry, counting winter’s wonders from 1 to 12.  Claudia McGehee’s stunning scratchboard art was influenced by her own snowy surroundings and vibrantly brings the text to life. This sturdy board book edition of Counting Winter is adapted for the youngest reader and a perfect read aloud for chilly days, whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring. "

I really love Counting Winter and recommend it for the children you love - and remember, it makes a fantastic baby shower gift if anyone you know is going to have a baby!
