What a beautiful reminder to be more in the moment and enjoy the cozy and full sensations of pleasurable things in life.

A new favorite right here!!

I loved it to pieces! The book does justice to its title. Everything is all coziness and happy sighs. Sips of cocoa, warm fuzzy blankets, the crisp crunch of snow under foot. Everything throughout the day that you do, see, hear, touch that’s all cozy is mentioned (… except I can’t remember book reading or petting a kitten??). Even the prose is cozy and rhyming.

A delightful book to read in the autumn/winter months to your kiddo!

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!

This is a sweet book with illustrations and simple stories of what makes up a fun nice cozy day.

Nice illustrations. This is an engaging book for young children. It has familiar sweet situations that are familiar to the kids. The book does not have to be read completely.

Fun reading for the very young.

Our family never gets tired of reading this book. The illustrations are clever, detailed and full of hidden meaning. The words are beautifully rhymed in a clever, not cloying way.

This book will take you back to when children read more and parents read more with them. Less distractions because this is a long book but today it would be many different books and is many different books. The Quiet Book, The Loud Book, etc.

Curl up for a pre-bedtime read with this awesome, tongue-in-cheek poem.

I just ordered a new copy of this beloved book. It is a terrific book for reading aloud while snuggling with a 3-5 year old.
