Snack, Snooze, Skedaddle:
How Animals Get Ready for Winter
Who hibernates, migrates, and tolerates? Find out how various species get ready for winter in this bouncy rhyming nonfiction picture book.
There’s more than one way for animals to prepare for winter. Some, like hummingbirds, blue whales, and even earthworms, migrate to find better conditions! Some, like black bears, wood frogs, and garter snakes, hibernate. And others, like mice, foxes, and moose, simply tolerate the cold. Which do you do?

Reviews & More
Review: Kirkus: “With smooth rhymes and jaunty illustrations, Salas and Gévry introduce three strategies animals use for coping with winter cold. The author’s long experience in imparting information to young readers is evident in her selection of familiar animals and in her presentation.”
Review: Booklist: “…the back matter reveals the overall organization in paragraphs of text that explain the three main survival strategies (migrate, hibernate, tolerate) and discuss the four examples of each. Within the pastel artwork, rounded forms, soft edges, and warm colors create an endearing look.”
Press release: “Minnesota children’s author Laura Purdie Salas was born and raised in Florida, so you might think she knows nothing about winter preparation. But she’s lived in the Twin Cities long enough to hone her winter survival skills. During the bitter days of February, she sometimes hibernates under the blankets for a cozy nap. Or she temporarily migrates to Florida for a quick family visit. Or she tolerates the cold with a giant mug of hot cocoa and a great book!”
