Reviews

[Yiyu Guo]

This is a non-fiction book for beginning readers. It introduced the weather, the animals in winter, and how to stay warm and have fun in the winter. It used real photos as illustrations. It is light on text, and big on photographs, so it can be used with young children and beginning readers. The glossary, further reading and index in the back of the book will enhance the children’s non-fiction reading.

This book introduces the winter season to children with lots of colorful pictures and a short narrative with a large font.

The short sentences on each page inform the reader without being overwhelming and the colorful backgrounds on each page and the color photographs will engage the reader.

At the end of the book, the author explains what hibernation means and provides a glossary, an index, a list of photo acknowledgments, and a list of additional resources for further reading,

[Katelynne]

This is a nonfiction book about winter (or winter in a snowy area, at least) for early readers. It contains all of the basics of an informational text - a table of contents, captions, and a glossary. I did think it was a little silly to describe hibernating animals as not waking up "to go to the bathroom."

This was a fun and informative book I read to 2nd graders.
