Synopsis
Do you ever wonder how animals stay warm in the winter? Well they wonder how humans do too! In a twist of perspective, wild creatures question if humans use the same winter adaptation strategies that they do. Do they cuddle together in a tree or fly south to Mexico? Take a look through an animal's eyes and discover the interesting ways that animals cope with the cold winter months throughout this rhythmic story.

From the Author
A Warm Winter Tail is a cozy nature book about how animals adapt to winter weather. But it is told from the perspective of baby and mama animals and uses lyrical language - not your typical science book! It has a repeating line to encourage reader participation and while quiet, isn't the least bit sleepy. Christina Wald, the illustrator, is a master (mistress?) at creating scenes that are real life but child-friendly.
This story came to me one exceptionally cold winter day when I was snowshoeing on the trails by my house. As I walked across a bridge deep in the woods, I noticed a deer watching me. His head was cocked to the side as if he was trying to figure out what I was. I decided I must look strange to him with my hat, mittens, and many layers of clothing. That's when I had the idea of animals wondering how humans stay warm in the winter.
