Winter comes to Kitten's world, and the little calico leaves her cosy 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 behaviour 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.
