In the Winter outlines things people and animals do during winter along with other magical winter happenings. There are celebrations and snow and of course some cosiness. The illustrations are gorgeous and capture winter perfectly. It would be a great book for younger children learning about winter.

With winter coming to an end here in Aotearoa New Zealand it seemed appropriate to read and review In the Winter with my daughter. Her favourite things were the animals, especially the fox as they are one of her favourites.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A beautiful book! Though it’s a little young for my students, I will definitely recommend this it to my fellow 2yo and 3yo teachers. The illustrations are gorgeous, and I love the ,different representations throughout the book. Thanks to NetGalley for this advanced copy!

The beautiful watercolour illustrations in this gentle picture book would make it a treasured gift for anyone, but especially younger children. It’s a lovely , cosy read and I particularly loved the illustrations of the Northern Lights in the winter sky. (I will definitely be mentioning this title in the festive & gift book webinar I run for UK School Library Association members in November).

This picture book is both charming and informative as it demonstrates to readers how both animals and people prepare for the winter months. The first pages highlights weather changes then moves to showing how some animals hibernate and some are still quite active during the cold months. Kukla also shows people celebrating different cultures with various traditions.

The clear and concise text combined with the gorgeous illustrations makes this a beautiful book to share with children through the course of the winter months. This would be a great addition especially for younger readers just learning about the seasons.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

With seemingly simple text, a story that takes us to the beauty and magic of winter. A snowy winter in the wood. The best part of this book are the watercolor illustrations and little animals throughout.

A cozy little book that illustrates beautifully the various traditions of winter.
I loved that it is so inclusive and features Hannuka and Kawanza as well.
The illustrations are so charming. I would use this book to explain winter to my baby this upcoming November.

This is an amazing picture book on the winter season. Illustrations were also windy like in winters full of hazy snow carrier. Author here covered from clothes of winters to the food and festivities. Humans and animals both were depicted like how they behave and keep themselves in winters. No doubt winter is one of the more cherished season, if you're in a good place to enjoy it. Variety of Quality food and cozy quilts, body-packed wearables and for me it the best time to read as much as I want during long nights.
I really liked this book and surely it will give better memorable time to young readers and take them to their preoccupied memories in their minds the earlier times in winter season which they would have enjoyed with their friends and families.

This book is nice. It lists things that happen in the winter both for humans and animals alike. It mentions dreams of spring, but that there is still plenty of time for winter. If nothing wrong with this book, there’s also nothing fantastic. It’s a nice read that kids will enjoy but will not stay on shells forever.

A visually stunning picture book that brings the magic of winter to life from the very first page and an excellent addition to any library's picture book collection. A fantastic choice for a library story time as young patrons will be able to relate to the simple text and clear images, and an equally amazing book to share with a lap sitting child one on one as the detailed illustrations provide so much to explore and examine. Young readers will engage with the animals, the weather, the clothes, and the customs of the season over and over again, finding new things each time. Thank you to NetGalley for access to this magical winter arc.

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys. I really enjoyed reading this cute and fun book all about winter. I love that it shows winter is just as important as summer. The pictures were very fun and cute. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Thank you so much to JollyFish Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

A lovely story sharing the changes all around during the winter months. From the weather changes, the animal changes, to celebrations and what we wear. This book explores the wonders of the season.

It was a nice sweet, short book, with big illustrations that were really pretty to look at. I loved that it showed all three of the big celebrations during this season, sharing the similarities and the differences.

This book is an easy to read story perfect for young readers or for a family read together, it will get you cosy and ready for the colder months as they approach and share everything the season has planned. I really enjoyed this sweet book and loved the illustrations.

The illustrations are the star of this book. The frosty fun on every page made for a chilly fun read. The author explores winter, from many perspectives; a child, an adult, and animals are all laid out in this beautiful, easy-to-read book.

This book is absolutely perfect for younger readers to help them learn a little bit about seasons and descriptive words. I don't have anything bad to say about this book, honestly. The illustrations were absolutely impeccable. Some notable illustrations were those of dogs, the Northern Lights, and stars. These looked so beautiful and realistic, they could leap off of the page into the real world. This will be perfect for the younger kids reading this book (or having it read it to them) and will definitely keep them engaged and interested. Lastly, the story flowed well and touched on a lot of good points (animals hibernating, the cold weather, waiting for spring to come, etc). This will no doubt help kids learn about winter and the changing of the seasons, without getting overwhelmed with information. In less words, this book was poetically informative, especially for the intended audience.

Such a sweet story! It was very simple, with just a few words on each page so for a younger audience I think it would keep them engaged, but I do think that with such a simple storyline that the illustrations should wow. There were some pages I really loved and others that were just OK, but I loved how the book captured the quiet and calm of winter. Both of my kids also enjoyed the story (ages 5 and 7).

I suggest downloading it rather than sending it to kindle. The pictures get lost otherwise.
The illustrations in this story was gorgeous and not to be missed. The winter theme was cute. Overall, it was a cute story. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I received an ARC of this children's book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a lovely children's book. The pictures are really cute and the text was wonderful!

A beautiful, simple book about the season of winter. This is perfect for young children and would be a great resource for me, an ESL/ELL teacher since the language is simple but the pictures are captivating and engaging.

This is a great story for very young readers. The font choice would be difficult for young readers to independently read.
The storyline does a good job explaining what animals, humans do during winter.

This book felt like it was wrapping up and then added the signs of spring and kept going? I think a natural ending already exists in there.

In The Winter is a simple but beautiful narrative about a truly magical time of year. I love that when the author mentions the holidays she's not discussing specifics and is extremely inclusive. The illustrations capture the magic.of the season too, they're beautiful.

The text is simple but effective combined with the delightful illustrations depicting the wonders of snow season.
The illustrations by the author are clear, imaginative, colorful, and cheery.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from North Star Editions | Jolly Fish Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
