Overview

""In a sea of hibernation titles, this one's worth staying awake for."" -- Kirkus Reviews A cozy tale about a restless sleeper, his hibernating friends, and how he creates his best winter yet. When snow begins to blanket the trees, naptime is here for the animals of the forest--everyone, it seems, except for Badger! He doesn't feel like sleeping, and he's got some big plans for the cold months ahead. But Mr. Bear has posted a ""DO NOT DISTURB"" sign. Marmot won't answer the door. Even the nighthawk is sound asleep. Badger draws, knits, and reads for hours, but he doesn't want to spend all this time alone. Can he find anyone to join his winter fun? Featuring a delightful, crayon-illustrated cast of animals, The Most Beautiful Winter encourages children to make the most of the coldest time of year. An excellent pick for hibernation lessons, snuggly bedtimes, and winter parties, this amusing story will charm readers all season long.
