"It's a counting book. It's a winter animal book. It's a just plain beautiful book . . . The prettiest nondenominational winter book seen in ages." -- Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)

An atmospheric tribute to the beauty of winter and its creatures.

One red fox walks across the white snow--quietly stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle--raucously talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop on big paws--silently tracking winter. Four red squirrels feast at their midden full of cones--hungrily cracking winter. Wherever you look, another creature is making its mark on the snow-covered season.

Inspired by the author's years in Alaska, this lyrical book celebrates the rhythms of the tundra and its inhabitants. Poetic lines and stunning scratchboard art create the perfect read for chilly days--whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.

Industry Reviews

School Library Journal
"A visual treat that cheerfully celebrates winter through lyrical facts found in the natural world, while incidentally also being a counting book. A worthy purchase."

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"It's a counting book. It's a winter animal book. It's a just plain beautiful book! . . . Though weather and color palettes may change from page to page as the book counts to 12, the one thing that remains the same is the sense of awe readers will feel observing these animals in their native Alaskan environments. . . . Carlstrom's writing deftly sets this title apart from other counting books. . . . A little scratchboard, a little watercolor, and voil?! The prettiest nondenominational winter book seen in ages."
