Booklist - 10/15/2024 Whether you live in a place where it snows or simply dream of an escape from heat and humidity, cozying up in Acorn Village will be a welcome respite. A snowfall is celebrated with fun activities inside, such as cooking, reading, and crafting, followed by skating, sledding, and snowbear-building outdoors. The beavers, owl, squirrel, and other animals are anthropomorphized, wearing clothes and enjoying a vegetarian stew and bread together at the end of their busy day. A variety of family structures are represented, including the multicolored rabbit group with two dads and five children, one of whom uses a wheelchair. There is also a single mom with a baby and an older couple, among others. The village’s fanciful houses sport gingerbread trim and bright pastel colors and are built into trees or nestled among other plants. Readers may pore over the charmingly detailed illustrations, taking in the particulars as they revel in the simple pleasures of this fantasy winter day. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
