An Amazon Editor's Pick: Best Books Ages 3-5
"It's a counting book. It's a winter animal book. It's a just plain beautiful book! . . . The prettiest nondenominational winter book seen in ages."
-- Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)
"Playful . . . Claudia McGehee's scratchboard illustrations--similar in style to woodcuts--emphasize contrasts of light and texture: between snow and soil, fox and field, bird and birch tree."
-- The Wall Street Journal
One red fox walks across the white snow--quietly stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle--raucously talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop on big paws--silently tracking winter. Wherever you look, another creature is making its mark on the snow-covered season.
Author Nancy White Carlstrom used her years living in Alaska to inspire lyrical text celebrating the rhythms of the tundra and its inhabitants. Claudia McGehee's stunning scratchboard art brings the winter season alive. For reading on chilly days--whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.
