The Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett
Wednesday November 4, 2009
If you have children, you probably already know about popular picture book creator Jan Brett, who has more than 33 million books in print. Her picture book, The Three Snow Bears, is a retelling of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," set in a traditional Inuit village. Brett includes accurate details about Inuit lives and customs in the picture book. I have long been a fan of Jan Brett's illustrations and her books. Does your family have a favorite Jan Brett picture book? One of my favorites is Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury a collection of her holiday and winter stories.

Jan Brett’s The Mitten is a classic, but my favorite book by this author is The Gingerbread Baby. She puts a whimical twist on the old tale and children “eat it up”!
My daughter’s current favorite book (of ALL books) is The Gingerbread Baby–we have read it over and over again the past two weeks.
