Book: Augustus and His Smile

/

Our first winter in Vermont has been wonderful, with lots of snow and outside fun. But despite all the rosy cheeks and fresh air, I have been feeling the grey dampness of late winter seeping in. I'm sure the ear infections and fevers of last week have something to do with it - we're all a little run down. This morning I pulled one of my favorite children's books off the shelf... it seemed to fit.

Augustus the tiger was sad.
​He had lost his smile.​
​So he did a HUGE tigery stretch and set off to find it.
