Winter means sledding and snowman-building fun for children. But for the animals trying to keep warm, it brings thick coyote-fur coats and feather-fluffing birds. This lovely picture book shows the wonders of the natural world as the photographer catches swans, weasels, mountain sheep, owls, rabbits, mice, deer, moose, and more in the winter fields,

A simple text accompanies the photographs in this picture book designed for young readers in preschool through third grade. A Lexile Level of AD650L makes this an adult-directed book to share with young readers. With its magnificent color photographs, this is a not-too-be-missed treasure for readers young and old.

Highly recommended. ( )

This book is about how different animals are affected during the cold winter months. It talks about how they have to adapt to survive in the new environment. I think this book would be good for elementary teachers to have on their shelves for its pictures but not for its contents. I rated the book 3 out of 5 because I didn’t feel it would be a good resource for teacher to teach from. ( )

Such magnificant photographs which best illustrated the essence of winter. This book is an excellent source of information for children of all ages. Its a simple read with photos of the different species of biirds found in its natural habitat.
Experiencing such purity of nature is a stress releaver. Nature in its full glory of natural beauty is incomparable. ( )
