Kitten's Winter

Winter comes to Kitten's world and the little calico leaves her cozy home for an afternoon of exploration and discovery. Kitten learns that even on a frosty day animal life flourishes: a squirrel forages an otter goes fishing and a woodpecker taps the side of a bare-limbed tree. At the same time readers discover that for many animals winter is a time of rest. Softly Kitten treads past a burrowing turtle a napping beaver and a hibernating bear. Told in rhyming couplets Kitten's Winter is a perfect introduction to animal behavior and habitats. And its sumptuous mixed-media illustrations make it ideal for beginning and pre-readers who will delight in spotting all the different details of the season.>
