We love snowy days! Is there anything more magical than waking up to a white, winter wonderland, or watching snow fall gently outside from the cozy warmth of your home? For kids, snow means snowball fights, sledding and, perhaps, an unexpected day off from school. Sure, snow can be a pain to shovel and complicate transportation, but what would winter be without the white stuff? So we say, three cheers for snow, and we're celebrating with 6 of our favorite books that are perfect for cozy winter reading.
