This is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces children to the wonder of nature in winter:

A Fox Peeks Out of His Den at a White Forest

All is Silent

A Buck Stands Camouflaged

A great horned owl sits on a nearby branch

The fox climbs out of this den

He passes squirrels eating

He passes mice foraging

The fox reaches a stream where he takes a cold drink

A family of mallard ducks swims by

Across the stream, river otters rest on a rock

Suddenly, the earth trembles. Towering over the fox, a moose takes a cold drink

His thirst quenched, the fox heads home

He passes rabbits hiding in a hollow tree

Chattering crows greet the fox outside his den

After the snowfall.
