Soak up the sun, breathe in the breeze, munch crunchy apples that fall from the trees.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because nights are growing longer, days are getting colder, and soon snow and ice will cover the landscape. Laura Purdie Salas shows how different animals prepare to survive the winter. Some, such as hummingbirds and butterflies, migrate. Others store up nuts and seeds, or build layers of fat, and spend the winter napping. And others grow extra layers of hair so they can keep warm.<\/p>\n

What I like about t<\/em><\/span>his book:<\/em><\/span> Rhyming text reveals survival secrets of twelve different animals, from worms to mammals. And yes, humans are counted amongst those mammals. A line of smaller text, offset by squiggly lines, offers additional details. Claudine G\u00e9vry\u2019s illustrations are filled with details inviting readers to explore the spreads that show animals across the two seasons of autumn and winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there is back matter! Salas provides more information about the three basic winter survival strategies: migrate, hibernate, or tolerate. Following pages tell more about the migrators, hibernators, and tolerators, and end with a glossary.<\/p>\n
