There is so much fun to be had during the season of winter: skiing, snowboarding, sledding, making snow angels, drinking hot cocoa with loads of marshmallows and whipped cream on top… well, you get the point. However, on those days where the weather just seems a tad bit unbearable and the season appears to be dragging (or opposite: non-exsitant), it’s a good time to grab a good book that will remind you why the winter season is so wonderful. A couple of these books (marked with *) are even perfect for discussing the transitions of all four seasons—because if winter is not your thing, you’ll be happy to prepare for spring.
