Jan Brett’s books are always fantastically illustrated and both of today’s two Story Book Advent books are from this amazing author and illustrator. First off Mama Smiles shares a simple activity for the book Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett. This book is based around the story of Goldilocks however the location is shifted to the far North of Canada and the land of ice and snow. Aloo-ki is a inuit out with her sledge and dogs when they wander off and start to float away – hunting for them she discovers and igloo and enters – the igloo the home of the three polar bears. With beautiful illustrations that reflect the native dress of the inuits as well as Jan Brett’s fabulous retelling of the story this is a great variation of the Goldilocks story to share at Christmas and Winter time.
