Winter Dance is a soft and beautiful story in which the reader can learn about how animals prepare for winter. Young readers will like to follow Fox through the story and might want to make up their own winter dance!
This little book is a gem! It is inspiring and sweet and authentic. From the mention of the mystery of Spyridon's shoes I could kind of guess where the story was going but it was done with great storytelling. This would be a great read for during Lent, when we all should be tending to our prayer life. I would recommend it for 2nd to 5th grade. A younger person could have it read to them and a middle schooler would breeze through it but still take away the inspiring message. Christine Rogers, I will be watching and waiting for your next book!
Being in elementary school for the second time has really taught me a lot 😁 Did you know there are other famous groundhogs? I never knew Punxsutawney Phil wasn't the only guy in the know about Spring. And Gail Gibbons is my go to for great nonfiction about so many topics.
I can barely drive my own kids through bad weather and worries about things we might run into. Bus drivers drive our kids every day and are tough cookies. My favorite fictional tough cookie bus driver is Axel Annie! And when we get sent home early and face snow tomorrow too, I think of her!
