Not a Buzz to Be Found: Insects in Winter

32 pp. | Millbrook | November, 2011 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-5644-8 $25.26
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jaime Zollars. Glaser details the winter survival techniques of a dozen different insects. Short, rhythmic lines explain each insect's adaptations (field cricket: "Safely hidden, you'd wait and wait"). Evocative paintings move from colorful fall to icy winter and finally burst into spring. The insects' point of view is emphasized in text and pictures, with nearby children also engaged in typical winter activities.
