(1) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal. An adult and child cross-country ski through a forest. They catch glimpses of animal activity below the snow in the crevasses that trap warmer air; above the snow, predators wait for signs of dinner. The subnivean zone and above-ground scenes are beautifully rendered through Messner’s spare, poetic words and Neal’s blockprint-looking mixed-media illustrations. Further details about the animals is appended. Reading list, websites. Bib.
