Counting Winter

(2) PS Illustrated by Claudia McGehee. Various animals adapt to live through winter in this atmospheric counting book that honors the snow and cold. Metaphorically, a red fox stalks winter, three snowshoe hares track it, and eight sled dogs race it. The smooth, steady rhythm of Carlstrom's poetic writing makes this inviting book well suited for a read-aloud, while McGehee's dynamic scratchboard and watercolor illustrations, primarily in shades of blue, white, and black, add texture. Profiles of all the animals featured and notes from the author and illustrator are appended.
