29. Snow Beast Comes to Play – This sweet and funny picture book from Phil Gosier asks the question, “How do you make friends if don’t know your own size, or if you are loud, large, and a little clumsy?” Maybe your child can relate to Snow Beast, who isn’t exactly sure how to go about making a friend. Maybe they will see themselves in Penny, who is a little nervous but curious, and kind. Great as a read-out-loud or for emerging readers. $14.07
