This book walks the reader through the process of hibernation. It explains the process for a few different animals including bears, groundhogs, frogs, and bats. I like this book because it explains in a very kid friendly language how the process works, and why the animals do this/how they need to hibernate in order to survive. I think it would be a great book to use in the classroom to teach students about the concept of hibernation, and what animals that live near them do so. This would also be a good book to use to start as a starting point to study different animals and where they hibernate since it does introduce more than just a bear. ( )

This book has lovely photographs of animals in hibernation. The book is about how different animals hibernate and the importance of hibernation. The way this book is written is playful. Engaging its readers into the contents of the book.

Genre:non-fiction-informational book
Age Appropriateness:4 - 8 years,preschool-3rd grade
Review:it is a picture book with description why animals needs hibernation, what are some hibernator animals such as bears, bats, groundhogs and chipmunks and how they go through winter. this book is better than the night-time animals, another informational book because it includes glossary, read more and internet sites resources sections at the end of the book. This will enable kids who are interested in the book find more facts about hibernation.

it is an informational book because it inform kids by providing in-depth explanation of one of the natural patterns-higvernation. it is factorial material. ( )

SCIENCE NON-FICTION: (age range: primary)
This a good representation of a science non fiction because it is factual and precise. It focuses mainly on animals that hibernate and provides what exactly that means and details that are scientifically proven. The book does not tell a story (as a fiction book would) rather it states the facts using well illustrated visuals to grab the young readers attention and draw them in.

For primary, preferably kindergarten. Very easy to follow, good book to work on sequencing. A little bit of vocabulary. Very simple sentence structures ( )
