Reviews
Grade 2-4-- Although lovely to look at, this book is a sore disappointment. A brief introductory passage outlines hibernation, but other than some snowy illustrations, little of this work justifies its title. Rather than hibernation, this is in fact about the life and habits of European animals, including snails and butterflies, who in some Northern areas enter a dormant state during the winter months. There is no differentiation made between deep sleep and light sleep hibernation. The illustrations, in beautiful full color, serve to illuminate the text but are not more than cursorily informational. Some lesser-known animals are discussed and pictured, including a fat dormouse, a hedgehog, and a hazel mouse--which may serve to introduce children to the European cousins of our more familiar native animals. A postscript, "American Animals in Winter," has bits of information concerning the American counterparts of the European species. Each animal's scientific name, length, weight, lifespan, and food are shown in a separate chart, but with no index or table of contents, this material is found only by chance. Do Not Disturb (Little, 1989) by Margery Facklam has much more value for libraries and readers. --Eva Elisabeth Von Ancken, Trinity Pawling School, N.Y.
