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.

Contains excellent black and white illustrations and will be of interest to the students from the 3rd grade through the 7th grade levels.
