Beautiful illustrations with a heartfelt narrative of hibernating animals. My 5 year old really enjoyed this book. We enjoyed reading about which animals hibernate and why they do this.

Such a beautiful book and amazing illustrations. For anyone who loves winter and winter activities/hobbies. I think this is so important for kids now who can be endlessly busy, without boredom/rest/hibernation, if they wanted to.

Thank you NetGalley and Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company for this ARC!

Wonderfully warm and cozy. A treat for the coldest months. This charming picture book follows Badger as he tries to find company to spend the season with, because winter can get too quiet and lonesome. This could be a bedtime favorite; I can easily see this book being reached for time and time again as little ones get cozied into their blankets.

I can imagine reading this to the youngest family member during the winter and all snuggled up beside the fire. The illustrations are a delight.

Gorgeous illustrations and a nice story that got my kiddo talking about which animals hibernate. Not anything super special but a cute little read.

Badger is excited for all the fun things he plans to do during winter, but doesn't expect for all of his friends to be fast asleep and hibernating! After some solitude and trying to pass the time alone, Badger finds a new way (and with new friends!) to spend his winter weeks.

A very sweet, cozy story with adorable illustrations that does a great job of teaching the basics of hibernation. I also really appreciated the back pages -- I had no idea there were so many things we could do to look out for wild animals in the colder months.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
