Book A Day: Day 26

THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED TODAY DUE TO A BURST WATER PIPE! STORYTIMES WILL BE RESCHEDULED...



Today's pick is a picture book called Pobble's Way by Simon Van Booy. Pobble and her father set out for a walk in the winter woods and play a fun game along the way. Winter mushrooms on a tree must be 'frog umbrellas' decides Pobble, and a lost feather becomes a 'tickle stick'! Little do they know that when Pobble drops her fluffy pink mitten, the woodland animals play a game of their own. Owl decides the mitten is a 'wing warmer' while Duck is sure it is a 'fish coat'.

You would think the illustrations would include a lot of snowy white, but illustrator Wendy Edelson brings out the most vivid colors in the animals and scenery. This is a perfect book for this LONG winter we are having, and just may inspire you to take a winter walk of your own. Also a great choice for father's to read and enjoy with their own little Pobbles! Ms. Eileen
