Hi there, 🙂
What living books do you like to read to your children about winter happenings in nature and hibernating for both animals and insects? My daughter, age 6, was asking about such things. Thank you very much for any help!

We have these strange things up here called snow fleas. They jump in the snow. We also have a thing that looks like a spider. We have some strange bugs up North.

What about the Christian Liberty Press Nature Readers? I think there may be some stories that include winter, but it would be mixed. For fun, Stranger in the Woods book or dvd. We have the dvd. The animals find a stranger (snowman) in the woods.

Winter-Sleepers by Phyllis Sarasy, illustrated by Edna Miller, who, I believe, did the Mousekin books.
Animals in Winter by Ron Fisher. This is part of the “Books for Young Explorers, National Geographic Society.” Lots of great photos.

Oh, yeah, we also have Animals in Winter, but I could not remember the title or locate it today. There are some insect stories on here, but I have not read them:
