This charming nonfiction picture book shows how a variety of familiar, kid-friendly animals prepare for-and survive-winter in northern climates.
Snack, Snooze, Skedaddle: How Animals Get Ready for Winter 
There is more than one way for animals to prepare for winter. Some, such as mice, foxes, and moose, simply tolerate the cold. Of course black bears hibernate, but chipmunks, wood frogs, and garter snakes do too. And then there are the creatures that migrate, including hummingbirds, blue whales, and even earthworms! This rhyming nonfiction picture book by Laura Purdie Salas tells you all about how animals survive chilly weather.
Snail Trail
Marjorie is a happy snail. She loves her family and friends, but sometimes she just needs a bit of alone time. At these moments, Marjorie wanders off to try to find a quiet space, but her friends and family just follow her trail of slime and find her. ""How can I find some space for myself?"" wonders Marjorie, and as she wonders, she wanders, here and there, back and forth, this way and that until she is entirely and marvelously lost. But the joys of solitude are short lived, and Marjorie swiftly realizes that she can3t find her way back. Luckily, she stumbles on a good friend who helps her on her way and offers her some sage advice. A natural follow on from the critically acclaimed The Pocket Chaotic, this simple, layered story is exquisitely brought to life by Christos Kourtoglou, an emerging Greek illustrator with a distinctive watercolour style. It addresses the disjunction that kids and adults feel (particularly in a post-lockdown era) between our introvert and extrovert selves.
