Winter by Ron Hirschi

Winter by Ron Hirschi, color photographs by Thomas D. Mangelsen

This is a nonfiction book about animals in winter. All of the pictures are real photos taken. It's written very simply for young readers to learn generally what happens in the winter. It begins by talking about what children do outside to play (make a snowman). Then it talks about birds, wolves, rabbits, owls, bears, deer, etc. Each page is dedicated to one or two animals with a brief sentence about what they do in winter. At the end, there is an afterword from the author with a more detailed description of things that happen in winter.

This would be a good book for any child, but specifically children that grow up in areas that don't have snow. Since all of the pictures are real photos, it would be good for them to see what things actually look like. Maybe they would not be familiar with the animals mentioned and this book gives a broad overview of what they do when there is a lot of snow on the ground in winter.
