Winter Dance by Marion Dane Bauer - OPTIONAL

Bauer, Marion Dane  Winter Dance Illustrated by Richard Jones  PICTURE BOOK  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017.  $16.99  Content: G.  

A fox feels winter coming on, but isn’t sure what he should do.  The other forest animals tell him what they do for the winter, such as hibernate, but the red fox knows that’s not what he wants to do.  Soon another red fox comes along and teaches him to dance and have fun in the winter snow.   The two fox play until the sun goes down and then hide in a tree trunk.  

This is a fun look at what different forest animals do to prepare for the winter.  The illustrations are simple and well done.  There is a question/ answer format throughout but it is a fast read.  Great addition to books about the seasons.

EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
