Lois Lenski
Oxford University Press, 1950
One of the first favorites for my son was Lenski's Cowboy Small. I would read that book to him in a ridiculous southern accent that used to make him laugh and laugh. Her books are all like this though -- from the Small series to this little holiday dittie -- all rhymey and sweet. I Like Winter has sheet music on the first page so you can sing along to the book.

I like icy winds that blow.
I like snowflakes, oh so light,
Making all the ground so white.
