I Definitely Don't Like Winter review

 I Definitely Don't Like Winter by Fiona Barker

A brilliantly funny picture book about two best friends who just can't agree!(goodreads summary)

 

 

 
 
 
 
Hank and Hoog are two best friends that love to do just about everything together.  The only thing that do not agree on though is the arrival of winter.  Hoog loves winter but Hank definitely does not.  Can the two friends find something to agree on during the long and cold winter months ahead?
 
This is a sweet and charming story for the winter season that will warm your heart.  Best friends Hank and Hoog are opposite when it comes to the cold and snow.  Hoog loves spending time sledding, reading by a quiet fire or going for outdoor walks.  Hank on the other hand seems to get the winter blues and dreads everything about the cold weather.  It is a short and simple story with easy text for a quick read aloud.  The brightly colored illustrations are large and both squirrels are cute and expressive. It has a sweet message of recognizing someone else's difference in opinion and meeting in the middle.  This is a great friendship book showing how to support one another when they are down and getting through by being together.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-6.~
