Our book of the week is perfect for a snowy night cuddled with your little queens or kings. Stella Queen of the Snow, tells the story of Sam who had never seen snow and is not too interested, until his sister Stella explains,"Snow is as cold as ice cream but as soft as rabbit's fur." This intrigues Sam and he begins to ask Stella a flurry of questions about the snow. Full of descriptive language and bright pictures, this is the perfect book to introduce winter vocabulary.
