This is an interesting educational children's book about wild animals who live in the snow, and how they survive. The types of animals are: penguins, polar bears, geese, hares, killer whales, reindeer, arctic foxes, brown bears and seals. There are lots of facts and information about each type of animal, which I really enjoyed learning about. I found it all very interesting and fascinating!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley, for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! As a former teacher, Wild Animals in the Snow provided just the right amount of intrigue while providing valuable information. I would love to have used this in my classroom!

This book is well done, but don’t pick it up for story time, It’s more for chapter book readers. Each chapter starts with a short story, and then ends with information about the animal in the story. It has penguins, bears, artic foxes, etc. It was well done and kids will be picking it off library shelves for years to come.

Wild Animals in the Snow is a perfect read during the long winter months. The book alternates between facts and silly stories, which are great for developing critical thinking and text analysis. This book has something for everyone, the factual part for the emerging little scientists and the fictional part for those who would rather learn through stories. Suitable for the very young.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautifully illustrated book full of adorable animal stories, and factual information. I especially love the World Wildlife Fund connection. This would make the perfect gift for a young animal lover. 🐧

“Meet the nicest wild animals in the snow.”

This was just super cute. “Animal lovers ages 4 years and up” will learn about nine different types of animals in a mix of fiction and facts. First there’s a short tale usually full of kind and/or playful interactions between different animals, accompanied by cute illustrations.

Then using a mix of text, photographs and illustrations the readers are shown interesting facts about the respective main protagonist of the story.

Those are:

• Matt, the Flying Penguin (the Emperor Penguin)
• Smokey, the Arctic Fox
• Harp, the Harp Seal
• Bear Brown, the Brown Bear
• Gus, the Goose (the Greylag Goose)
• Puk, the Arctic Hare
• Barre, the Polar Bear
• Keko, the Killer Whale
• Rodi, the Reindeer

Two of the fictional stories I didn’t find great. One was a retelling of a Russian fairy tale that I apparently don’t know and that I found a little lame. The other one was nice but also somehow odd, as it was about a polar bear that is sad because the seals with which he used to play hide and seek are gone. The story ends well, but on the next page children will learn that polar bears have seals as their favorite food. That will be an interesting transition from one page to the next for some parents.

Overall, though, this was just a super nice read.

9 stories about wild animals in the snow, for children. Some of them are great, with a positive message like "you can compensate your weaknesses if you use your head", others are plain dumb. Illustrations are OK, but I would expect a more engaging story-telling and visual world in the 21st century.

Thank you NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for this Advance Reading Copy.

There is a comfy story about the young of a family of Emperor Penguins, Arctic Fox, Harp Seals, Brown Bear, Greylag Goose, Arctic Hare, Polar Bear, Killer Whale, Reindeer (!) (each written by a different author) followed by a passport, a fun fact, and more for each of them and compiled by Marja. Absolutely wonderful and sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund. Getting one for the grands and one for the local library.
Actually, I do think that this is ESL friendly.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Clavis Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!

These animals bring this book alive with their quirky stories and antics. It teaches kids all about the facts surrounding these animals. A fun, entertaining little package that is educative and interesting.

Thank you to Clavis Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC of Wild Animals in the Snow in exchange for an honest review. I loved the format of the book, alternating with fictional stories of the arctic animals, then following up the story with true facts and pictures of the animals. It is a great collection for a young reader who is curious about the natural world!

A sweet book with stories about some artic animals followed by some fact pages about those animals. The real life photos and the illustrations pair nicely together.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a childrens book. I really enjoyed this book. The fictional story with great graphics is followed by facts about the same animal and photographs. The stories were fun and interesting and then combine that with the facts and photos. This is a winner. I think this would appeal to kids of all ages. 5 stars

Delightfully illustrated with encouraging animal stories and factual data explaining all about the animals, this is a fine book for young readers to peruse with parents/grandparents or to be read to the very young, perhaps one animal per bedtime. The World Wildlife Foundation has graciously provided the animal data.

An interesting compendium of stories about animals from the colder corners of our world. The pattern is set with a baby penguin, who thinks it can fly – its story is across four fully-illustrated pages, before a databank of information and material about the species surround a cute photograph. This repeats for the Arctic fox, and so on. Sometimes the story doesn't quite match the animal subject in a perfect way, but it's forgivable here as we have a variety of content to entertain over several evenings, and the book is connected to WWF (although no, I don't mean the "wrestlers").
