  1. These are great books. I will have to pick up a few for my friends little ones. We always read books when they are over.

    You covered some of our favorites and even more memorable, reading those books and then seeing a play based on the book. We’ve seen a play based on the mitten as well as the snowy day. Makes us love the books that much more.
