The First Ones on the Ice by Lana Button
The First Ones on the Ice
by Lana Button

A brother and sister spend one quiet winter day on the icy pond behind their house--clearing the snow, skating with the crowd of neighbourhood kids, and cheering on the local hockey team, who play until the sun begins to set. Finally, under the moon and stars, the siblings once again have the ice to themselves.
Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate?: How Animals Keep Warm by Kaner
Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate?: How Animals Keep Warm
by Kaner

When winter arrives, animals living in cold environments need to cope to survive. Do polar bears build homes? Do penguins snuggle with a friend? Yes! But their homes aren't made of wood, and they don't cuddle on a couch. Instead, these animals and many more have adapted in amazing ways to survive chilly weather. Whether it's whales layering up with 12 inches of blubber, turtles burrowing into the mud to snooze and wait for spring, or emperor penguins coming together in a giant huddle, this book is full of fascinating tidbits about animal behaviour in winter. Written in a question-and-answer format, this interactive nonfiction book encourages kids to predict the answers and shout them out.

This is a free program for children of all ages and their caregivers.
Everyone welcome!
