Reviews
""An intriguing mix of fact and fiction, the book contains poems that convey information on pollination, hibernation, and more, while the art is entirely fanciful, with animals bedding down under sheets and blankets or wearing hats and kerchiefs. A lovely, eclectic collection of poetry that will make naturalists out of all who pick it up."" -- ""Kirkus Review""
