This post is sponsored by Candlewick Press.  We have teamed up with them to find books that moms and kids alike will love!

I do not usually post review posts on a book, I've not yet finished - however, I feel I must post this early so you have a chance to read during this holiday season.  Winterfrost is a new novel out by Michelle Houts and we are completely mesmerized by it.  It is the first non-picture book I am reading out-loud to little one.   I take that back, I had tried Peter Pan, but it just didn't work...zero interest (yet).  Winterfrost is different, he listens to the magical story with anticipation and excitement.  
Christmas has come, and with it a sparkling white winterfrost over the countryside. But twelve-year-old Bettina’s parents have been called away unexpectedly, leaving her in charge of the house, the farm, and baby Pia. In all the confusion, Bettina’s family neglects to set out the traditional bowl of Christmas rice pudding for the tiny nisse who are rumored to look after the family and their livestock. No one besides her grandfather ever believed the nisse were real, so what harm could there be in forgetting this silly custom? But when baby Pia disappears during a nap, the magic of the nisse makes itself known. To find her sister and set things right, Bettina must venture into the miniature world of these usually helpful, but sometimes mischievous folk. A delightful winter adventure for lovers of the legendary and miraculous.

My sister-in-law and I did Feast of the 7 Fishes for Christmas eve. It was a lot of fun cooking together and finding different fish recipes.
