Who Lives in the Snow?

by Jennifer Berry Jones, Consie Powell (Illustrator)

Overview

On the surface, the snow looks quiet and serene. But beneath its white expanse, unsociable shrews go hunting, voles tunnel to the surface, and chipmuks awake to nibble on seeds. Through scientifically accurate text and lifelike illustrations, this book introduces young readers to the unseen life of the world winter.
