Maddie and Mabel Ready for Snow: Book 5
Best sisters and adventurers Maddie and Mabel are waiting. They’re waiting for something that
might be the best. Or it might be big, or it might be a surprise! But when it finally comes . . . then
what? The sisters have different ideas about what to do when it snows. And it turns out, they
each need the other’s help to accomplish their great ideas. It’s going to take all their sisterly
collaboration, humor, and bravery to figure out which idea is truly the best.
In their fifth adventure the sisters tap into all they’ve learned about creativity and cooperation,
about patience and courage. Author Kari Allen and illustrator Tatjana Mai-Wyss have created a
