Someone is walking through the north woods in winter. Readers can see the tracks in each detailed depiction of winter habitat, but they don't discover the mystery animal until the last pages.

On the way, they see frozen wood frogs, a bear in her den with her newborn cubs, sleepy chipmunks, fish and otters swimming under the ice, owl hunting and hare hiding, and many other creatures surviving and even thriving in the cold, snowy winter environment.

The artwork in this book is created from intricately cut colored paper with watercolor detailing. Children will enjoy finding the many animals on each page.

A glossary defines different types of snow and amazing facts about winter animals.
