Editorial Reviews

10/12/2015
This addition to the Shine-a-Light series features hidden woodland animals that readers can see by holding a flashlight to the pages. Brown describes the habitat and animals that live there using a gentle question-and-answer format: “The lake is frozen, but something is moving under the ice. Can you see anything?” When readers turn the page, they see the b&w image that was revealed by shining the light (“Most fish lie near the bottom of the lake. The water is warmer here”). The animal residents include a hare, snails asleep in beds of ivy, and a deer family sheltered by a grove of evergreens. Tee’s snowy landscape is rendered in muted, cold tones leavened by the rosy glow of the horizon. The interactive feature is delicately paired with the lightly educational content. Available simultaneously: On the Construction Site. Ages 4–8. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

"An inventive, behind-the-scenes look at nature during wintertime." — Booklist Online


"Much of the land is covered with a blanket of snow in the winter, but flashlights help our readers reveal what's burrowing underground, what's swimming in the depths of a frozen lake, and what plants are growing despite the cold. Perfect for a unit on seasons or animal habitats!" — Little Cub Literacy


"I love this book." — Reviewed by Raif, Age 6
