Review:
"In blue, black, and white illustrations, attributes of the Arctic winter unfold. Double-page spreads contain brief text describing an array of animals; lyrical and cumulative, the story is good for reading aloud." -- The Horn Book
"Snowy old and caribou, narwhal and polar bear, surviving in the ice at the end of the world. The hypnotic text and paintings by the renowned wildlife artist mark the collaborators' stunning debut."

(Smithsonian) "The illustrations in this book capture the stark isolation of the Arctic tundra during winter. Readers learn about the Arctic wolf, hare, caribou, polar bear and snowy owl. Ten animals are featured in this cumulative, lyrical text which shows how all the Arctic species live and survive with other's help. This would make a good addition to science lessons examining habitats and food chain." -- Times Herald
"When the animals in the book go into hibernation, there are still those that roam the Arctic wilderness. Dunphy uses a cumulative, rhythmic text to limn the complex chain that links the lives of the animals and plants of the Arctic winter, There is an underlying ecological message, but no annoying preaching. The text is as beautiful as a poem and inscribed on the far left side of each double page spread. Icy blue and gray paintings with a black backdrop fill the rest of the pages, bringing the reader a breathtaking view of the constant night." -- The New Advocate
