My Goodreads goal for the year is 366 books...yep, a book a day! And I'm actually ahead of schedule. The wonderful
Harmony Library is just blocks from my house. We took Henry there yesterday and of course you know what a three year old wants to do. Push the handicap buttons to open all the doors! We also had to stop him from choosing every book he saw and putting them into my bag. They have a great selection of new books in the children's area and I clear them out. I'm going later today, too.
Over and Under by Kate Messner is one of those books that captures you first with the pictures by Chris Silas Neal and then Kate's wonderful story. Here is the blurb from
Kate's website: "Over the snow, the world is hushed and white. But under the snow exists
a secret kingdom of squirrels and snow hares, bears and bullfrogs, and
many other animals that live through the winter safe and warm, awake
and busy, under the snow. Discover the wonder and activity that lies
beneath winter’s snowy landscape in this magical book."
I always hand the book over to my darling hubby after I've finished it. We both agreed that the illustrations were amazing and the way Kate wrote the book makes it a great picture book! She teaches us very cool facts about animals and winter without being "teachy". We loved it! If you, or children you know, love animals, pick this book up. I will guarantee not only will you love it but you will be delightfully surprised at what you learn! 5 Stars
