Over and Under the Snow cover

Over the snow, the world is hushed and white. But under the snow lies a secret world of squirrels and snow hares, bears and bullfrogs, and many other animals making their winter home under the snow. This beloved nonfiction picture book exploring the subnivean zone reveals the tunnels and caves formed beneath the snow but over the ground, where many kinds of animals live through the winter, safe and warm, awake and busy, but hidden beneath the snow.

"This delightful book is much more than just a simple tale. Children will learn a huge amount about what goes on when snow falls and the life it supports." Creative Steps Winter 2011 "With stunning illustrations, this book takes a poetic look at what is happening above and below ground when a little girl goes skiing with her father...young minds will love it." Junior Book Club 01.01.12
