This may be the perfect time to take a step back and think about those winners from years past. This allowed us to build it slowly without breaking the bank.With November coming to a close and the end of the year fast approaching, we are nearing the announcement of the 2017 Newbery / Caldecott Awards with every passing minute.

His mom makes sure he is dressed for the occasion. This book is just a silly book about a frog who wants to play in the snow–except frogs don’t play in the snow. This award winner is worth adding to your collection. This book really feels like magic and follows a girl and her father one winter night. It shows a lot of what happens during hibernation, so it is very educational. I love how this book teaches so much about nature during winter. It really brings to life the wonder and magic of a snowfall. This shows us the changes that come from a snowfall.
