Reviews
"Martha E. H. Rustad's Animals in Winter, People in Winter, and Snowflakes (Capstone Press, 2009) are excellent supplemental texts to a classroom study of the season. Large color photographs complement factual statements comprised of one or two sentences. Animals explains how birds, bats, bears, and other animals survive the season while introducing terms such as hibernation and migration; People looks at what individuals wear, what they do in the snow, and winter celebrations, and Snowflakes describes the properties of snow. Each title includes a table of contents, glossary, and index, useful tools for introducing young researchers to a few of the important features of nonfiction books.-- ""School Library Journal"" This is a reference book from the ""All About Winter"" set. The set contains four books, Animals in Winter, Christmas, People in Winter and Snowflakes, a book with big, beautiful photos and scientific text. The subject is Earth Science. In the first chapter, ""What Are Snowflakes?,"" we learn that snowflakes are small pieces of frozen water. A photograph of a magnified snowflake is included. In the second chapter, ""When It Snows,"" we learn about the consistency of snowflakes in various temperatures. In the third chapter, ""In the Snow,"" we learn about the responsibilities that come along with snow as well as the fun activities we can have in the snow. In chapter four, ""Melting,"" a photograph of a flower blooming from the snow signifies the arrival of spring. This book is excellent for parents who want their children to learn all about snowflakes. The text uses scientific words such as blizzards, clouds, temperatures and spring and offers teachers a good resource when teaching a unit on weather. The series, ""All About Winter,"" was designed to help below-level readers access text. There are references to more books to read about winter weather as well as an Internet site related to the book, www.facthound.com. The book has a table of contents, glossary, bibliography and index.-- ""Children's Literature Comprehensive Database"""
