Overview

Winter in the Forest is the second in a series of seasonal picture books for pre-K and early elementary children. It's about the natural world, in particular the deciduous forest of the American Northeast. This book depicts the cold stillness of winter and adaptations that plants and animals make during this long dark time. The three primary themes are snow and cold, long dark nights, and dormancy. The language of these books is lyrical, the images are entrancing and sometimes humorous but always realistic - think field guides for 3- to 8-year-olds. There is a tracking activity in back for young readers who go out in the snow. Children will learn the names and habits of forest animals and plants so that they can recognize them in natural settings. These books engage children's innate curiosity and connection to the living world so that they can learn complex principals in simple, age- appropriate language.

This book is spectacular. The books in the series are enchanting. The illustrations are completely engaging and young-child friendly. We have a 1 1/2 year old grandchild and she would enjoy the pictures. And verse is just right as well. - David Sobel, Professor Emeritus. Education Department, Antioch University New England
