Winter is the Warmest Season does a terrific job of highlighting all of the special cozy elements of winter from jackets filled with feathers and warm sweaters to hot chocolate and beds piled high with blankets and quilts.  The use of a child narrator enhances the description of the comparison between summer and winter and why winter really is the warmest season.  Additionally, the pictures in this book are beautiful and truly enhance the story.  This is a delightful tale that would make a great read aloud.
