Customer Reviews

Great story and great science

Maybe it's because I'm something of a nature girl, but something about this book just tugged at my soul. And to think that the basic idea is to get us to learn basic signs of woodland animals. But even as this goes on we get a lovely story about a pair of siblings wandering in the beautiful snowy woods, an aura that lends itself through the pretty narrative and the drop-dead gorgeous illustrations that lend themselves to all perspectives. The ending is sweet, and I love the extra page that gives basic animal facts.

Animals in Winter

My students enjoyed this book immensely. We used it as part of our unit studying winter habitats. The illustrations are fabulous. The concept helped my students become nature detectives.

In the Snow : Who's Been Here?

Two children have to go sledding without a sled. On the way they see evidence of animals and guess what they were. Would have been better if the illustrations would have shown the footprints, when appropriate. Saving grace: the blurbs at the end that explain how the children knew which animal had been there. Contains excellent black and white illustrations and will be of interest to the students from the 3rd grade through the 7th grade levels.
