Book SynopsisThough a forest may be blanketed in snow or a lake frozen over, families who enjoy the outdoors in winter, happily bundled up to play in the energising weather, know that wildlife is still teeming there. The fallen log that is used to hide behind in a snowball fight is a shelter for tree frogs, caterpillars, ladybugs, and slugs. The drifts of fallen snow that families snowshoe across have winding tunnels made by meadow mice in search of seeds and bark. The towering trees families ski among shield birds from winter winds. When Winter Comes celebrates the joy of families playing and exploring in the outdoors during the winter months.Trade Review"Through intriguing cutaway scenes, many illustrations also reveal the animals scurrying about or resting underground and beneath the snow and ice. This lively picture book offers a fresh perspective on the animals-in-winter theme."--Booklist★ "Bissonette’s prose sparkles even as she imparts factual information"--Publisher's Weekly, starred"Hourigan’s joyful illustrations will encourage children to take a closer look at the world around them."--School Library Journal "an ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections." --Midwest Book Review
