Little Fur Family
Here's a book you'll want to snuggle up with on cold winter days- literally, the book is covered in fur! Garth Williams' pictures of a bear family are so cute.
A little bear goes for a walk in the world around him, visiting his grandfather, the stream, and and even meeting a tinier fur creature.

Snowy Valentine
A perfect book for our snowy Valentine's Day today!
I love books that anthropomorphize animals, especially if they're wearing vests and scarves like in this one. But I always think it's a funny thing if you have the predator animals and the prey animals living together.
David Petersen 2011
Jasper the bunny wants to get the perfect valentine for his wife, so he walks around to his friends' houses to get advice. (All the animals happen to live in super charming English looking abodes.) Jasper almost ends up as the special Valentine's dinner for Mrs. Fox- but he manages to get home and find that he's inadvertently created the best valentine for his wife.
