About this book
This simple nonfiction book introduces the clothing we wear to stay warm in cold weather, such as coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. Clear, full-color photos pair with very short sentences to support beginning readers and build seasonal vocabulary. It’s ideal for kindergarten and first-grade science or weather units and for readers just starting to read on their own. Kids enjoy recognizing familiar items and talking about what they wear in winter.
Setting: everyday cold-weather settings
