This informational picture storybook describes how, why, and what animals move south for the winter or do for the winter. I never knew that a woodchuck can sleep for longer than four months—that is crazy! The book is organized by different animals and describes their habits in the winter. The book seems accurate, as it is part of a series developed by people knowledgeable in the field.

21 months - we enjoyed learning about Animals and how they deal with winter survival. Great illustrations and basic information. We will borrow this one again next year when we talk about winter.

Lovely, vintage illustrations with a simple story about what different animals do in the winter, where they go and about hibernation.

This book is all about what different animals do in order to survive in the winter. This is a good book for elementary students. I liked this book, it had a lot of different information. It would tie well into a science class.
