Cozy by Jan Brett


All alone on the tundra, Cozy the musk ox feels it will be a very lonely winter. But when a variety of other arctic animals use his thick winter coat as shelter, he finds winter is better with friends. 

Thoughts: Cozy is beautifully illustrated with an engaging albeit lengthy story. It reminds me of Jan's earlier books The Hat, The Mitten, and The Umbrella. I love seeing all the arctic animals come to life in Jan's illustrations. My favorite illustration is when Cozy gets spring fever. I love seeing all the other animals nestled in his fur. I look forward to sharing this book during the winter. 

Themes: Winter, Winter Animals, Friendship
