We love the author Margaret Wise Brown and I couldn’t wait to turn the pages of Goodnight Songs – A Celebration of the Seasons with Monkey. This is a wonderful collection of poems and songs about nature and the changing seasons.
Goodnight Songs – A Celebration of the Seasons is accompanied by a 12 track CD of the songs.
I think Love Song of the Little Bear is one of our favourites, the words are so gentle and share his love of his mother, but actually maybe the world all around him too.
Being bug hunters Buzz Buzz Buzz had to go down well, I’m seriously hoping that Monkey’s hatred of wasps might have disappeared by next summer, but he does still love bees thankfully.
Fall of the Year is very apt right now, with talk of autumn and the dark nights ahead. Leaves turning from yellows and reds to brown.
Goodnight Songs – A Celebration of the Seasons is a charming book and the CD has become a favourite on car journeys lately. This hardback book from Sterling Books is available in all good bookstores for £14.99.

the crisp frosty mornings
having fun ! building snowmen…. sledging….. snow angels …. 🙂
Warm cosy fires
When it snows going sledging and snowball fights, nice brisk walks and warming up by the log fire with a hot chocolate with marshmallows
Not so sure I like anything much about Winter now ( apart from warm comforting food:- such as soup, rice pudding etc). When younger I liked playing in the snow, whilst warmly dressed in winter clothes, scarf etc. The dogs enjoyed playing in the snow, so it could be fun taking them for a walk in the winter.They would run and jump in the snow, chase snowballs etc.
I love having to get all cozy and warm x
Christmas as my birthday is Xmas Eve so double celebrations

The absolute contrast of being outdoors and indoors, love being snuggled up and warm but nothing makes you feel more alive than a blast of fresh cold air.
It has to be all the comfort food, because it’s so tasty
I love the look of fresh snow before anyone has walked on it.

Xmas – for family time, new year for a fresh start on things!
I know most people hate them but i love the shorter evenings, during the Summer months I always feel guilty about just reading a book on the sofa when there is a jungle of a garden to be tamed and a million other jobs to do. But in the Winter I don’t feel as bad about getting into a pair of cozy PJs and watching a film or just doing nothing!!
Getting back in the house from the cold and snuggling up in the warm
I love the fact Winter contains Christmas best 🙂 because it’s my favourite time of year!
Snow sledging
