Illustrated by
Joan Paley.
Handsome collage illustrations picture four forest animals as they prepare for winter. The minimal text conveys simple images that capture each creature's behavior: "Squirrel stashing, / bat chewing, / beaver building. / Bear, big bear, digging deep." An informative glossary extends the narrative with details about the animals' diets, physical characteristics, and hibernation routines.
