OVER AND UNDER THE SNOW
By Kate Messner.
By Kate Messner.
Illustrated by Christopher Silas Neal.
As a girl and her father cross-country ski in a snowy wood, a “secret
kingdom” of burrowed animals busy themselves beneath their feet. Various
clues awaken the girl to the intricacies of this unseen habitat: “An
oval of melted snow tells the story of a good night’s sleep.” Messner
packs much information into the serene wintry landscape, beautifully
captured in Neal’s stunning retro-style illustrations. Calm, lovely and
richly informative.
A good winter read before taking that snowy walk in the woods.
