PreS-Gr 2—Rabbit's coat goes white in winter, and the author reflects on how other animals spend the cold months. Bears hibernate. Birds fly south. Sheep have their woolly coats to keep them warm. Turtles swim to warmer waters. Then bright colors appear once again, and all the animals know that it's spring. Rabbit's coat in the last panel has turned a reddish hue, and she wears a smile and has a newly bloomed flower by her ear. Done in ink and oils, overlaid and enhanced digitally with various shapes and layers, the art is vibrant and sports unusual colors with whimsical details. A lovely selection to share with younger children.—Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA
In this picture book, brief text tells how different animals survive the cold winter: some hibernate, some seek a warmer climate, and so on. Digitally compiled collage illustrations combine textures and patterns in bright, eye-catching compositions. Each scene features a plump rabbit; in a pleasing touch on the last page, its winter-white fur turns brown, just as spring arrives.
