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.

Industry Reviews

Intricate, realistic illustrations of wildlife, made fanciful by breathtaking, multihued washes of color against a black sky, distinguish this observational nature picture book. Spare prose follows a red fox peering from a den, perceiving other animals of the forest--a buck, a great horned owl, squirrels, mice, a moose, and more--and making note of their actions while journeying to the stream for a drink. "His thirst quenched, the fox heads home," seeing more animals along the way ("rabbits hiding in a hollow log," "chattering crows") before rejoining his family: a vixen and kits. The quiet, documentary tone echoes the stillness denoted on the first page ("All is silent"), setting the stage for Lo's vibrant watercolors. While the narrative may be slim, the art will undoubtedly merit repeat perusals, especially for young nature enthusiasts. Ages 4-9.
