Aww… such a cuddly, cozy, cutesy book! 

This is the fifth book in the Maddie and Mabel series and works as a standalone. I missed a couple of books (sad, I know) so I was delighted when my friend pointed out the latest was available on NetGalley. 

Since the book releases in mid-Nov, it is winter-themed with snow as the central plot. Of course, the core of the book and the series is sisterhood and the warm relationship between Maddie and Mabel. 

Each page has around 10-25 words in short and neat sentences. They tell the story in the simplest terms for kids to understand. 

The illustrations are super adorable and align with the content on each page. The artwork is whimsical and cozy; be it the matching onesies, the plush bunny toys, or the bunny footwear around the house. The colors are pastels (softer) but still stand out against the white background. 

The story is divided into neat little chapters where the sisters take up a different activity in each one. The book ends with three short discussions encouraging kiddos to discuss the types of snow and how they can connect to the story (characters). 

To summarize, Maddie and Mabel Ready for Snow is a delightful and lovely little book about winter, sisterly bonding, and being kind to each other.
