Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Two interesting and informative easy readers. The first discusses the water cycle in clear, simple language and explains such topics as evaporation, condensation, and water and sewage treatment, as well as the need to conserve this precious natural resource. The second title shows the various ways a variety of animals survive harsh winter weather. Migration and hibernation are discussed, as are other survival techniques such as hiding and changing color. This text is slightly more challenging but is concise and factual. The watercolor illustrations in both books are plentiful if undistinguished. Serviceable additions.?Melissa Hudak, North Suburban District Library, Roscoe,

How Animals Survive The Cold,
By
This review is from: What Do Animals Do in Winter?: How Animals Survive the Cold (Discovery Readers) (Paperback)
Helps teach about migration and hibernation in an easy to read format. What better time to read What Do Animals Do in Winter? than at the start of the season. Even though we reside in California and my son has not experienced snow this is still a good subject to explore. The first half of the book goes into detail on which animals hibernate and how they go about doing this. We learn they travel most usually south for the winter and return come spring. They come back the time things start to grow and the colors start to change plus the weather is getting warmer.
This book gives great descriptions on how the animals combat the cold, where they travel to and how they change from the seasons. This would make a great addition for winter reading for kids that are interested in animals, nature and to learn about why animals behave certain ways. My son is a beginning reader and the pages are brief with short sentences on many for him to tackle in a topic he enjoys. This would also make a good gift for a teacher or to share with the classroom as a winter project.

This is a great book for determining what animals do to get ready for the winter. It is perfect for younger children/students.
