A winter divided between Bear and Penguin

Bear welcomes winter, while Penguin finds plenty to dislike: bulky clothes, difficult snow and slippery ice. Their contrasting outlooks frame a picture book about the season’s frustrations and the outdoor activities friends can share. The focus stays on familiar winter experiences, including spontaneous snowball fights, as Penguin considers whether cold weather has something to offer beyond the weather itself. The book was originally published in German and is presented as a story for sharing across generations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring the seasons through fiction
  • Families looking for a winter-themed picture book to read together
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about friendship and outdoor play

Book overview

Bear loves winter. Penguin does not. Penguin hates bulky layers, stubborn snow, sneaky ice, and especially spontaneous snowball fights! But maybe there's more to winter than just the weather, especially when it involves outdoor activities with friends. New York Times bestselling illustrator Dan Tavis captures the joys and frustrations of a cold, snowy winter with his signature humor. Originally published in German, this delightful picture book is relatable for anyone who's lived through a long northern winter season. Perfect for family reading time and sharing between generations.
