by Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick

This darling little wintertime board book evokes those warm feelings that only come once a year. It passes all our tests as it goes through various animals in their habitats prepping for "when snowflakes fall" and telling us what each critter plans to do. The mice will gather leaves to make a warm bed, the woodpecker will peck for tasty bugs, and the monarch butterfly will rest in a garden after a long flight south. The book is filled with stunning photographs, which makes us see that reality is just as magical and beautiful as drawings, if not more so. Children will catch a glimpse of what real live creatures are doing at this very moment as they prepare for the winter chill. The book helps teach reverence for the seasons and nature while still conveying that elusive sense of wonder only winter can bring.
