This list is filled with our favorite winter picture books.

This is a great list of the best winter picture books for kids!

Shortly after Christmas is over, I put away all the Christmas picture books and pull out the snow and winter-themed books. Since we only have them out for such a short amount of time, everyone looks forward to seeing them again.

Additional Winter Books

In addition to our favorite winter picture books, I also wanted to include the following two books because they go so well with the study of snow and snowflakes.

Snowflake Bentley, by Gloria May Stoddard, is a biography of Wilson A. Bentley, the man who photographed snowflakes.

Snow Crystals is a book filled with photographs of Bentley’s snowflakes. My children love looking through this book.

We’re always looking to add to our winter booklist. Do you have any favorite winter picture books you would add to this list?
