There’s too much fun to be had in the snow to sleep through the winter season! At least that’s what Louise thinks. In this story designed to engage early readers, charming characters combine with simple text, lively illustrations, and laugh-out-loud humor to help boost kids’ confidence and create lifelong readers! Snow has fallen and the pond is frozen, so Arnold knows that–as a bear–it’s time to hibernate! But Louise insists that he’ll miss all the fun winter things if he does, so she convinces him to try hibernating like a chipmunk instead. They’ll sleep for a short time, wake up to go sledding or have a snowball fight, and repeat! The only problem is, Arnold can’t seem to keep his eyes open. What if he can’t stay awake for the winter fun? Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
Erica S. Perl is an established picture book author (Chicken Butt!) making her debut as a young adult novelist with Vintage Veronica. The story behind Vintage Veronica began at The Garment District, the Boston area’s legendary vintage clothing store (where, P.S., Erica will be reading and signing Vintage Veronica on March 27, 2010 at 1 pm!). Erica started taking notes and drawing inspiration from the unique characters and one-of-a-kind clothing articles she discovered there. Her research grew into a short story about a girl named Veronica, which then evolved to become a book.
