Baby Loves Winter!: A Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Book (Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Books)
If you’ve got a tyke hesitant about a cold front, jam this encouraging board book into their mittened hands. A rotund toddler is asked a series of questions: “What’s outside the window?” Lifting a flap reveals the answer: “Look! Giant snowflakes!” Ditto as a pile of snowballs reveals a sled, a hill reveals a groundhog, a fence reveals a snowplow, a snowman reveals a deer, and a tree reveals a mommy. Obviously, the flaps are not as thick as the pages, and in fact, their slickness makes them a bit difficult to turn. Nonetheless, this is giddy wintertime goodness that—whew!—resists opening the whole Christmas can of worms. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Daniel Kraus
