Hiders Seekers Finders Keepers: How Animals Adapt in Winter

Jessica Kulekjian introduces young readers to the world of creature hibernation told as a story while a father and child walk through woods and wilds. Father and child are the seekers, witnessing the marvelous wonders of animal survival in the cold. Black bears, snakes, ladybugs, elk, pronghorn antelope, ruby-throated hummingbirds, and the great horned owl are among the many creatures beautifully displayed through Perera's warm and inviting illustrations. Readers will want to pause at each page to find the creatures discussed in the text circles as well as the hidden surprises.

There is an excellent animal track guide on the end pages that demonstrate various prints of creatures as they would look in the snow.

Hiders Seekers Finders Keepers: How Animals Adapt in Winter is a book that could easily be used as a read aloud in K-3 and as a resource for units on animals, hibernation, or winter themes.
